President Bola Tinubu of Nigeria made efforts on Sunday to court investors in his host nation, telling them that there is no place in the world where one will find the Return On Investment (ROI) at the level that is achievable in Nigeria, despite economic uncertainties and the initial obstacle that followed his visit to Qatar.
According to him, Nigeria has a sizable pool of more than 200 million competent labourers that are constantly willing and able to work.
Prior to the signing of historic agreements between the two countries, he marketed Nigeria to the Qatari government, creating a pathway for maximising the potential of cooperative efforts in critical areas such as education, youth empowerment, enterprise development, investment promotion, mining, tourism, and sports.
Nigeria’s greatest strength, according to Tinubu, is its people, during a meeting with His Highness, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Emir of the State of Qatar, on Sunday in Doha.
He said:
“Our strength lies in the capacity of Nigerian youths. They have energy, talent, and self-belief. They are quality partners for Qatari industry.
“They are educated and reliable, and they are proactively seeking to add value wherever they are. A few cannot give a bad name to the many. Nigerian youths are ready to be unleashed for the mutual benefit of both nations.
“We have seen clearly the rapid pace and thorough quality of Qatar’s development process. It is impossible not to be moved by what you have accomplished. The leadership in the country has proven its mettle, and we are here to gain deeper insight.
“We face some short-term turbulence at the moment, but we have a government today that reflects the dynamism and talent of the Nigerian people.
“We are implementing the right solutions. This team works collaboratively with each other and our partners. Nigeria is ready for serious business.”
