Nigeria prioritizes diaspora engagement and strategic partnerships
Nigeria's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Sola Enikanolaiye, has reaffirmed the federal government's commitment to leveraging the Nigerian diaspora as a vital resource for national development. Speaking at the Nigerian Diaspora Economic Conference in Toronto, Canada, Enikanolaiye emphasized that the administration of President Bola Tinubu views Nigerians living abroad as critical human resources rather than a consular burden.
Addressing national security, the Minister acknowledged that the country continues to face multifaceted security challenges that have persisted for over a decade. He stated that the government is deploying all available means to contain these threats.
Furthermore, Enikanolaiye highlighted a shift toward a 'new era of partnership of strategic autonomy' with international allies, specifically mentioning recent high-level engagements in Washington, D.C. These strategic partnerships with countries like the United States are intended to yield concrete outcomes in security, defense, prosperity, and the general welfare of the Nigerian people.
