By emmanuel MALAGU

President Bola Tinubu says the positive reports on Nigerians in the diaspora would inspire the younger generation on values that enhance the Nation’s Image.

The President commended Diaspora Nigerians while receiving Letters of Credence from Pasquale Salvaggio, the High Commissioner of Canada to Nigeria, and Julius Sandy, the High Commissioner of Sierra Leone, at the State House.

Tinubu also received Letters of Credence from Legesse Haile, the Ambassador of Ethiopia to Nigeria, and Archbishop Michael Francis Crotty, the Apostolic Nuncio of the Vatican to Nigeria.

The Canadian High Commissioner told the President that Nigerians were active in Education, Sports, Science, Health and Business in his Country.

He said Nigerians in Canada demonstrated high Responsibility, Civility and Purposefulness when pursuing their Goals.

“For us, Nigeria is a key Partner. You are the Largest Country in Africa, with one of the Largest Economies. You are also Canada’s Largest Trading Partner in Africa.

“I would like to advance the Positive Relations over the years. The Diaspora in Canada is dynamic and strong. We have Nigerians in Government, Business, Science, and Sports. We want to build the Ties further,” he said.

Salvaggio, who had previously worked in Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire, said Canada would seek to expand its Interest in Oil and Gas, ICT, and Agriculture in its Partnership with Nigeria.

President Tinubu lauded Nigerians’ Accomplishments Abroad, describing them as an Inspiration to many.

“It is good to hear about how Nigerians are doing well in the Diaspora again,” he said.
