Citizens Living In Diaspora Shouldn’t Forget To Make Purposeful Investments Back Home – Buhari

Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari has come out to say that the Federal Government will aggressively protect and defend the interests of law-abiding citizens in the diaspora.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, many of the Nigerians in diaspora are there for very different reasons, and they deserve to be cared for because they do well to promote Nigeria as a country all over the globe.

Buhari added that as they perform their responsibilities abroad, he would also encourage them to embrace purposeful investments back home.

His words, “Many of you are here for different reasons, some for a fulfilling career in sports, especially in football from where you earn respectable incomes to sustain yourselves as well as maintain your extended families in Nigeria including investments back home.”

“Some of you are engaged in other businesses that have enhanced your socio-economic status, both here and at home. More importantly, through your commitment to your various callings, you have enhanced the name and image of our country, thereby earning Nigeria’s respect in Spain.”

“I have also been informed of how law-abiding you are here in Spain. I wish to encourage you to continue to be role models for our youth back home as well as sustain the image of being excellent Ambassadors of Nigeria in Spain and live peacefully in the various communities in which you reside here.”

“As I have always done whenever I am abroad, I wish to reassure all of you in Spain of the determination of the Federal Government of Nigeria to continue to remain engaged with our compatriots in the diaspora, for more purposeful partnerships that impact our country and people.”

“It is in the quest for actualising this objective that I established the Diaspora Commission to give focus to the management of this partnership that leads to a win-win situation for Nigeria, at home and abroad.”

“As you perform this responsibility, I encourage you to embrace purposeful investments back home. Such assets can be financial or through your talents and skills, which can help mould and develop our youths.”

“On the part of the Federal Government, Nigeria will continue to aggressively protect and defend the interests of all Nigerians abroad, especially the law-abiding compatriots.”
