Minister of Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, says President Bola Tinubu’s ongoing reforms will soon make Nigeria attractive enough for citizens living abroad to return home.
Speaking in Akure, Ondo State, after receiving an award from the Deji of Akure, Oba Aladetoyinbo Ogunlade Aladelusi, as part of the monarch’s 10th coronation anniversary, Olawande expressed confidence that the country is being positioned for long-term stability and prosperity.
According to him, President Tinubu’s administration is laying a strong foundation for a better Nigeria—one that citizens in the diaspora, especially young professionals, will be proud to return to.
“Everything the president is doing now is for the future,” the minister said. “Very soon, people will prefer to live in Nigeria than remain abroad because the country is being stabilized.”
Olawande noted that for too long, Nigerian youths have felt alienated from governance, but the current administration is working to change that narrative by prioritizing youth inclusion and development.
He highlighted various government initiatives focused on vocational training, entrepreneurship, and the creative industry, aimed at equipping young Nigerians with marketable skills and opportunities to thrive.
He urged young people to take advantage of these opportunities, emphasizing that the administration is committed to meaningful youth engagement across sectors such as sports, agriculture, and entertainment.
“The challenges we face today are a result of decades of neglect,” Olawande added. “But now, structures are being put in place to change that.”
