Don’t Japa, Tinubu urges young Nigerians

The Nigerian leader spoke in a televised broadcast on Friday to mark this year’s Democracy Day.

President Bola Tinubu has urged young Nigerians troubled about the state of the country not to ‘abandon ship.’

“To our young people: Nigeria is your home and your future. Build here, code here, work here, and vote here. Every great nation was built by those who stayed to solve problems, not by those who abandoned ship,” the Nigerian leader said.

Thousands of young Nigerian professionals leave the country yearly for greener pastures, a phenomenon popularly called Japa.
