Nigerians’re competitive home, abroad, Buhari tells UAE’s Foreign Minister

President Muhammmadu Buhari has told the Minister of State, Foreign Affairs of United Arab Emirates (UAE), Shaikh Shakboot Alnahyan, that Nigerians are competetive both at home and abroad. While urging Nigerians in diaspora to always abide by the rules of their host countries, the President welcomed the UAE’s offer to partner with Nigeria in the areas of renewable energy, agriculture, infrastructure logistics, and provision of vaccines to further control the COVID-19 pandemic. According to a release by his spokesman, Femi Adesina, 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.

He encouraged Nigerians in Diaspora to “subject themselves to the rules and standards of the country in which they live either as working class, or doing businesses.” Alnahyan said his country “thinks very highly “of President Buhari’s leadership, noting that he was striving to “build a better future for generations to come.”

He said there were lots of Nigerians in his country, “who add much value,” assuring that the headwinds of the recent past in the relationship “are now behind us. 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.” On proposed investments in Nigeria, Alnahyan said it would be a win-win situation, “which would bring hope and opportunities for people in both countries. We want to come and add quality and value.”
