Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari has said Nigerians living abroad are making progress because of the quality of education they received back home.
According to a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, the President made this statement during a meeting with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Minister of Foreign Affairs, Shakhboot Al Nahyan, on the sidelines of the Paris Peace Forum in France.
Buhari urged Nigerians in the Diaspora to abide by the rules and standards of their host countries.
He was happy with the UAE offer to liaise with Nigeria in the areas of renewable energy, agriculture, infrastructure logistics, and provision of COVID-19 vaccines.
The President said: “Nigerians are all over the place, very competitive. And the competitiveness starts from home, where they have acquired good education, gone into businesses, and then take all that abroad.”
In the same vein, the UAE official said there are a lot of Nigerians living in the Middle East nation who are doing great.
He said: “We want to secure, deepen and strengthen the association for the future. We have a lot in common. We may be taking small steps, but they are leading somewhere.”
