By Kunle Sanni –

President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his commitment to repositioning Nigeria on the global stage, promising to deliver growth, jobs, and prosperity through stronger international partnerships.

Tinubu returned to Abuja on Thursday morning after a two-week official visit to Japan and Brazil.

In a statement on his official X handle, the President said his foreign engagements were guided by the mandate Nigerians entrusted to him during the 2023 elections — to restore the nation’s pride and dignity worldwide.

“It feels good to be back home in Nigeria after our recent engagements in Japan and Brazil. In 2023, you entrusted me with the responsibility of restoring our pride and dignity on the global stage, and I remain fully committed to that mission,” Tinubu wrote.

According to him, talks in Japan focused on attracting investments in industry, technology, and human capital development, while discussions in Brazil advanced cooperation in trade, agriculture, aviation, and finance.

He noted that he also met with global business leaders to reinforce investor confidence in Nigeria’s economy.

“This is the new Nigeria we are building together — a Nigeria founded on sustainable reforms, not empty rhetoric; a country that is confident abroad, resilient at home, and determined to create value for every citizen,” he stated.

While acknowledging the country’s economic challenges, Tinubu expressed optimism about the future. “With unity of purpose and courage to reform, I firmly believe the best is on the horizon. God bless our dear country, Nigeria,” he added.
