President Bola Tinubu has assured Nigerians that his administration’s economic reforms will encourage professionals who left the country in search of better opportunities to return.
He said this statement on Monday while inaugurating the Implementation Committee for the National Youth Conference at the State House, Abuja.
The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, revealed details of the meeting in a statement he signed Monday titled ‘Nigerian Professionals Will Return As Economy Improves, President Tinubu Assures at Inauguration of National Youth Confab Planning Committee.’
Tinubu emphasised that the government’s policies were designed to create prosperity, particularly for young Nigerians, who constitute over 60 per cent of the population.
He stated that the japa trend—where Nigerians leave the country for better prospects—would eventually reverse as economic conditions improve.
“When you listen to most professionals leaving Nigeria, there’s a cause. If you grow prosperity back home and empower people, they will not bother leaving. They will stay home,” he stated.
The President added, “I want to reassure you that you are the hope of this country, and everything hangs on you.
