Tinubu Urges Nigerians in Diaspora to Join Hands in Driving National Development

President Bola Tinubu has appealed to Nigerians in the Diaspora to contribute their expertise and resources towards consolidating national development and building a stronger, more prosperous country.

The President made this appeal in Yokohama, Japan, during an interactive session with selected members of the Nigerian community on the sidelines of the ongoing Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD9).

The meeting, which brought together professionals and entrepreneurs across various sectors, provided an avenue for President Tinubu to highlight his administration’s achievements and reaffirm his commitment to driving economic growth.

Expressing joy at meeting what he described as a vibrant representation of Nigeria’s diversity, the President assured the Diaspora community of his government’s determination to make the country conducive for all citizens.

He further invited the Minister of State for Industry, Senator John Enoh, and the Executive Vice Chairman of NASENI, Khalil Suleiman Halilu, to speak on government programmes and achievements.

President Tinubu emphasized that national development cannot be left to the government alone but must be seen as a collective responsibility between citizens at home and those abroad.

He urged Nigerians in the Diaspora to continue serving as ambassadors of the country by projecting a positive image in their engagements across the world.

In his remarks, President of the Nigerian Union in Japan, Emeka Ebogota, thanked President Tinubu for creating time to meet with them and pledged his members’ support for the administration’s efforts to reposition Nigeria.
