The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has explained the rationale behind the President’s recent visit to the United Kingdom, despite ongoing security concerns in parts of Nigeria, including Borno State.
President Bola Tinubu had embarked on a two-day official visit to the UK, where he also received a diplomatic reception from King Charles III.
The visit, however, drew criticism from opposition figures who questioned its timing, especially given the security and economic challenges facing the country.
Responding in a Facebook post, Bwala argued that national development cannot be achieved by remaining within the country alone.
He stressed that the President’s engagement abroad is aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s global presence and attracting investment opportunities.
According to him, the visit is focused on creating more partnerships that will translate into jobs and economic growth for Nigerians.
Bwala also noted that King Charles III had shown commitment to collaborating with Nigeria in areas of mutual interest and cooperation.
He wrote that President Tinubu is working to ensure Nigeria is “seen, heard, and respected” on the global stage, adding that this is the approach needed to move the country forward rather than remaining inactive.
