Nigerians are Competitive Abroad due to good Education at Home – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has stated that the competitiveness which Nigerians display abroad is a result of the good education they acquired before travelling out of the country.

Speaking with the Minister of State Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates, Shaikh Shakboot Alnahyan, at the sidelines of the Paris Peace Forum on Friday, the president urged Nigerians in Diaspora to always abide by the rules of their host countries.

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina disclosed this in a statement titled ‘Nigerians Competitive Both Home And Abroad, President Buhari Tells UAE Minister.’

Adesina quoted Buhari as saying, “Nigerians are all over the place, very competitive. And the competitiveness starts from home, where they have acquired good education, gone into businesses, and then take all that abroad.”

The President encouraged Nigerians in Diaspora to “subject themselves to the rules and standards of the country in which they live either as working class, or doing businesses.”
