President Bola Tinubu has stated that his foreign trips aim to restore Nigeria’s pride and dignity on the international stage while creating opportunities that benefit citizens. He shared this on his official handle on Thursday, shortly after returning from diplomatic visits to Japan and Brazil.

Tinubu described his meetings with world leaders and international business communities as “productive engagements,” emphasizing that each handshake, agreement, and discussion is focused on securing growth, jobs, and prosperity for Nigerians.

“It feels good to be back home in Nigeria after our recent engagements in Japan and Brazil. In 2023, you entrusted me with the responsibility of restoring our pride and dignity globally, and I remain fully committed to that mission,” he wrote.

The President explained that his visit to Japan strengthened bilateral ties, opening pathways for investment in industry, technology, and human capital development. In Brazil, discussions focused on trade, agriculture, aviation, and finance.

Tinubu also met with Nigerian business leaders in the diaspora, urging renewed confidence in the country’s economy.

He concluded, “This is the new Nigeria we are building — confident abroad, resilient at home, and committed to creating value for every citizen. The journey is not without challenges, but with unity and courage to reform, the best is on the horizon.”
