President Bola Tinubu said Nigeria is open to welcoming all Nigerians regardless of their ethnic origin.

Tinubu made the confirmation in India at the Group of 20 (G20) summit, where he shared his beliefs with the Nigerian public on Thursday.

In a statement by his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, the President said:

“You can also do it; do not be despondent in any way. Nigeria is ready to accommodate all. It does not matter which part of Nigeria you are from.”

He said:

“We are here to present a new future to you. A future of a country that is so rich, endowed, and highly populated. Very dynamic, unique in its culture, tradition, and ethnicity. That is what will make our prosperity possible, if only we can make use of our diversity for prosperity.

“We are not poor in knowledge. We are not poor in human resources. We are only poor in management and leadership, and that is why I ran for president, to help all of us mould the soul of our country in the right direction.”

Also speaking, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, explained that Tinubu’s foreign policy focus included the four D’s, including Diaspora, and was focused on improving the quality of service Diaspora Nigerians receive in their overseas Nigerian missions.

Tuggar said:

“The issue of passport delays will be a thing of the past. You won’t have to wait indefinitely for your passports to be ready. Secondly, you are the first point of contact between Nigerians and other countries. We can’t grow beyond what our people project. That is why it is very important for you to project a consistently positive image of Nigeria online and offline.”
