Senator Shehu Sani, a former federal lawmaker, has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s international travels, emphasizing that they differ significantly from those of previous Nigerian presidents. According to Sani, Tinubu’s visits abroad are yielding tangible benefits for the nation.
Key Achievements from Tinubu’s Foreign Travels
President Tinubu’s visits to countries such as Saudi Arabia, Brazil, France, China, and South Africa have resulted in notable economic gains, including:
- Brazil’s $4.2 Billion Agricultural Grant
One of the standout achievements is Brazil’s generous $4.2 billion grant aimed at bolstering Nigeria’s agriculture sector. This grant will be distributed across the nation’s local government areas, enhancing food security and rural development. - Boost to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
Tinubu’s strategic diplomacy has also contributed to a 248.1% surge in Nigeria’s foreign direct investment, with inflows reaching $103.82 million in Q3 2024. - Strengthened Bilateral Relations
By engaging with key global economies, Tinubu has secured partnerships that promise to improve Nigeria’s industrial and economic landscape.
Shehu Sani’s Perspective
In a post on his X account, Senator Sani expressed his approval, stating:
“The history of Presidential foreign travels in this country has been infamously known to be wasteful. There is an evidently notable difference this time around. The President’s visit to Saudi, Brazil, France, China, and South Africa attracted verifiable and practical economic gains for Nigeria. I’m particularly excited with Brazil’s $4.2 Billion grant to boost Nigeria’s Agriculture that will be shared to all our LGs.”
He further noted the importance of achieving measurable results, emphasizing:
“To travel and come back with something huge is ok; to travel and come back with nothing is not ok.”
Conclusion
Tinubu’s foreign travels mark a significant shift in Nigeria’s diplomatic and economic strategy. By fostering productive partnerships and securing impactful agreements, the President has demonstrated a commitment to addressing the nation’s economic challenges.
