Ambassadorial Nominee Urges Nigerians To Key Into FG’s Devt Strategies

An ambassadorial nominee, Prof. Abayomi Sunday Fasina, has called on Nigerians to dedicate their energy to productive use by supporting the federal government’s initiatives.

He said that greater private-public-partnership (PPP) through broader cooperation will play a prominent role in Nigeria’s socio-economic development.

Fasina pointed out that President Bola Tinubu’s administration has initiated and implemented policies, programmes and projects that will catapult Nigeria to greater development and become a cynosure in the comity of nations.

He therefore called on the private and corporate sectors, as well as individuals, to collaborate with the administration to uplift the nation.

He thanked President Tinubu for nominating him for the post of Nigeria’s ambassador.

He said,  “I want to thank Mr President very much for nominating me.  He has the confidence in me that I can deliver. I want to thank him for this nomination and for his confidence in me.

“He has also made many fantastic appointments of competent people in the past. He believes in merit, and that has been shown in his appointments.”

Fasina, who is a former Vice-Chancellor of the Federal University Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State, said he will facilitate bilateral dialogues with skill development institutions in the host country to engage Nigerian youth, especially those in the diaspora, on areas of skills acquisition, and he will encourage those youth to return home to contribute to the national development.

He said Nigeria has enormous potential, and with the favourable policies and good operating environment the Tinubu administration has been providing, Nigerian youths need to maximise those opportunities.

He added that the youths are vibrant, resourceful, energetic, adventurous, resilient, productive, technologically savvy, and determined to achieve growth.

Fasina said that if the youth travel abroad to acquire more knowledge, they should return and contribute their quota to nation-building and development.
