President Bola Tinubu has encouraged Nigerians in the U.S. to return home because “Nigeria has arrived” and “we don’t have any reason to be poor.”
Tinubu gave the advice at the Presidential Townhall Meeting with Nigerians in the diaspora on Wednesday, September 21, in New York.
“I want to give you a measure that will resonate with you. I was once a diaspora. What you have been through, I have been through it. Change of mind set is necessary. Take it this night that Nigeria is home for business opportunities.
You are lucky to be among those who are celebrated for good manners and behavior and are operating in an acceptable manner. I’m very proud of you; I have also been beneficial of inspiration, determination, commitment and perseverance and that is all you need to get to pull through.
But, we need you back home, Nigeria has arrived; forget the frustration of the previous year’s leadership.
