Our Government Will Protect Nigerians Home And Abroad – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has said that the Federal Government will protect Nigerians in every part of the world.

The President promised to stretch the government’s reach and capacity in protecting all Nigerians, not minding the distance.

He gave the assurance while speaking to a gathering of students and professionals in Sochi, towards the conclusion of his three-day visit to Russia, where he participated in the Russia-Africa Summit, which had about 40 Heads of State and governments.

“The life of every Nigerian, in every part of the world matters, our government will protect Nigerians at home, and abroad”.

President Buhari said the Nigeria Diaspora Commission, headed by Abike Dabiri-Erewa, was established to ensure a forward and backward link for all Nigerians living outside the country by catering for their safety and needs, and providing a platform for many who would like to contribute to the development of the country with their skills, knowledge and resources.

“Don’t forget your home,’’ the President said, advising all Nigerians living in foreign countries to be law-abiding and work very hard to excel in their studies and chosen careers.

The President assured that his administration will always be people-focused, pointing out that all the programmes of the administration had been tailored to buoy the economy and protect the poor and vulnerable.

“We must create jobs to meet the growing demands in the country, and we are looking at agriculture already,’’ he added.

President Buhari noted that the government also introduced Social Investment Programmes to directly impact the lives of poor people.
