Oluremi Tinubu, the esteemed spouse of President Bola Tinubu, recently shared candid insights during an interview with Arise News on Thursday, March 21. In her impassioned address, the former senator underscored the importance of Nigerians rallying together to navigate the economic challenges plaguing the nation.
With a heartfelt call to action, Mrs. Tinubu emphasized the pivotal role of collective support in alleviating the hardships faced by fellow citizens. Rather than solely relying on governmental provisions, she urged individuals blessed with resources to extend a helping hand to those in need.
In a thought-provoking observation, the First Lady questioned the phenomenon of Nigerians seeking employment opportunities abroad, particularly in occupations they might have overlooked within the country. Expressing concern over the decisions of some to pursue work overseas, she highlighted the irony of individuals opting for professions abroad that they may have declined domestically.
Mrs. Tinubu underscored the importance of recognizing the value of one’s skills and education, lamenting instances where highly qualified individuals find themselves undertaking menial jobs, such as driving taxis, in foreign lands. She challenged the notion that emigration automatically equates to prosperity, urging Nigerians to reconsider their choices and leverage their talents within the homeland to drive positive change.
Her remarks serve as a poignant reminder of the need for self-reflection and collective action in confronting the socioeconomic realities facing Nigeria. Mrs. Tinubu’s call for solidarity and responsible decision-making resonates deeply, underscoring the importance of harnessing local talents and resources to build a brighter future for all.
