Kogi State Governor Ahmed Ododo has urged Nigerian expatriates, particularly those in the United Kingdom, to support the economic reforms being implemented by the Tinubu-led federal government. The call comes as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen national economic policies and secure international backing for their implementation.
Ododo emphasized the importance of diaspora engagement in shaping the country’s economic future, highlighting that their financial and political influence can play a crucial role in the success of these reforms. The governor’s appeal was made during a virtual meeting with members of the Nigerian diaspora community, where he outlined key priorities such as infrastructure development and job creation.
The government’s economic strategy, which includes measures to attract foreign investment and improve public services, has faced challenges due to global economic uncertainties. Ododo stressed that collaboration with the diaspora could help navigate these challenges and ensure sustainable growth. His remarks were echoed by several diaspora representatives, who expressed willingness to support the reforms through advocacy and financial contributions.
This initiative reflects a broader trend of leveraging diaspora networks to bolster national development goals, as noted by analysts tracking Nigeria’s economic policies. (thisdaylive.com)
