President Muhammadu Buhari says the competitive nature of
Nigerians at home and abroad is due to the good quality of education the
country provides them with.
According to a statement by Femi Adesina, presidential
spokesman, Buhari spoke on Friday during a meeting with Shakhboot Al Nahyan,
minister of foreign affairs in the United Arab Emirates, on the sidelines of
the Paris Peace Forum.
He encouraged Nigerians in the diaspora to “subject
themselves to the rules and standards of the country in which they live either
as working class, or doing businesses”.
“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,” Buhari was quoted as saying.
He welcomed the offer by UAE to partner with Nigeria in the
areas of renewable energy, agriculture, infrastructure logistics, and provision
of vaccines to control the COVID-19 pandemic.
On his part, Al Nahyan said there are many Nigerians in UAE,
“who add much value” to the country.
“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,” he said.
On proposed investments in Nigeria, Al Nahyan 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,” the minister
added.
