Remi Tinubu Questions Nigerians’ Migration Motives and Advocates for Agricultural Development

By Daniel Edu

Oluremi Tinubu, the First Lady of Nigeria, recently voiced her concerns about Nigerians who choose to migrate abroad in search of better opportunities. In a circulating video, Tinubu criticized the trend, suggesting that many Nigerians end up accepting jobs overseas that they would reject in their homeland.

She highlighted the paradox where highly educated individuals from Nigeria pursue menial jobs abroad, contrasting with their reluctance to undertake similar roles domestically. Tinubu urged her fellow citizens to extend more assistance to the less fortunate within their communities, stressing the importance of self-reliance rather than dependence on government aid.

Tinubu also underscored the potential of agricultural production to bolster Nigeria’s economy during a meeting with Amina Mohammed, the Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations. Emphasizing the Renewed Hope Initiative’s contributions to agriculture, empowerment, education, health, and social welfare, Tinubu aligned these efforts with her husband, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.

Advocating for greater accountability in resource management, Tinubu praised the President’s decisions aimed at enhancing Nigeria’s global standing. She emphasized the importance of instilling a sense of national identity and responsibility in the youth, urging them to prioritize Nigeria’s interests above regional affiliations.

Addressing the issue of internally displaced persons (IDPs), Tinubu highlighted the Renewed Hope Initiative’s monthly food outreach program targeting IDPs and persons with disabilities. Despite challenges, she reaffirmed her commitment to serving the people and expressed determination to continue her efforts unabated.

In response, Amina Mohammed outlined the UN’s focus on securing increased funding for youth, women, and girls in Nigeria, signaling a collaborative approach to address pressing societal issues.
