Nigerian president urges citizens to stop emigrating
Nigerian President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has urged the citizens not to be swayed by the mass exodus of skilled workers from the country.
The former Lagos State governor also assured the Nigerians that the government in collaboration with sub-nationals will train more persons to fill the professional gap now conspicuous in health, tech and other sectors.
The President spoke in Owerri, the Imo State capital, during the second term inauguration of Governor Hope Uzodimma.
Addressing the people of the state shortly after the governor took the oath of office, Tinubu said the education of children and youths is a priority for the administration of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
“You see the priority in industrialisation. Healthcare will receive more allocation and more attention.
“Don’t worry about what you are hearing about the Japa syndrome, we will train more people and we will supply them self,” he said.
The President also assured the people of the South-East that “the peace you are enjoying here will be better and we will work more to achieve that peace”.
