President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has issued a passionate appeal to Nigerians living overseas, urging them to leverage their skills, expertise, and resources to help accelerate Nigeria’s development. Emphasizing the critical role of citizens both at home and abroad in nation-building, Tinubu stressed that sustainable national growth requires active participation from all Nigerians, wherever they reside.
In a recent address, the President highlighted the vast potential within the Nigerian Diaspora community and the importance of harnessing this talent pool to drive progress across economic, social, and technological sectors. Tinubu called for collaborative efforts aimed at transforming Nigeria into a global force by tapping into the knowledge and experience gained by Nigerians abroad.
“Our development story must be collectively written by all Nigerians, whether at home or abroad. The skills, innovation, and resources available within our Diaspora can significantly contribute to the transformation of our country,” the President said.
Tinubu’s call aligns with his broader vision of inclusive governance and participatory patriotism, inviting Nigerians overseas to return home or establish strong linkages that support infrastructural, educational, and entrepreneurial initiatives domestically.
The President also underscored government efforts to create enabling environments for returnees, including improved security, better business frameworks, and policies designed to attract foreign direct investment. He reassured the Diaspora community that their contributions would be valued and that Nigeria remains a land of opportunity for those willing to invest their talents in its future.
This appeal comes at a crucial time as Nigeria continues to navigate complex developmental challenges and seeks innovative ways to harness its human capital. The President’s message encourages a renewed sense of national pride and mobilizes the global Nigerian family toward collective progress.
