Buhari Salutes Nigerians Excelling In Diaspora
President Muhammadu Buhari has commended Nigerians living in the US for the exemplary roles they are playing in their different fields of endeavour.
He urged them to continue in that track to earn the respect of their hosts.
Mr Femi Adesina, the President’s media aide in a statement, said the president gave the commendation on Saturday in New York at a town hall meeting with Nigerians residing in that city.
President Buhari said: “It is gratifying for me to note that many Nigerians in the USA have continued to excel in their careers leading to some being appointed into the cabinet of His Excellency, President Joe Biden.
“Similarly, many have been elected and appointed into various responsible and competitive positions in the United States of America.
“I congratulate those who have brought honours and pride to our country.
“I thank and commend them for their respective successes as I equally urge them to demonstrate the highest sense of responsibilities in order that they continue to remain reference points of excellence as they serve human kind in this country.
“As always, I wish to emphasise the absolute necessity for each and every one of you to continue to remain law-abiding as you live in the United States of America.”
He implored them to be good ambassadors of Nigeria.
“In order to earn yourselves collective self-respect within the communities you live in, you must live with one another peacefully and continue to do so without sub-divisions amongst yourselves.
