\n“The life of every Nigerian, in every part of the world matters,” says
\nPresident Muhammadu Buhari, in Sochi, Russia on Thursday, promising to
\nstretch government’s reach and capacity in protecting all Nigerians, not
\nminding the distance.<\/p>\n

“Our government will protect Nigerians at home, and abroad,” the
\nPresident told a gathering of students and professionals in Sochi,
\ntowards the conclusion of his three-day visit to Russia, where he
\nparticipated in the Russia-Africa Summit, which had about 40 Heads of
\nState and governments.<\/p>\n

President Buhari said the Nigeria Diaspora Commission, headed by Abike
\nDabiri-Erewa, was established to ensure a forward and backward link for
\nall Nigerians living outside the country by catering for their safety
\nand needs, and providing a platform for many who would like to
\ncontribute to the development of the country with their skills,
\nknowledge and resources.<\/p>\n

“Don’t forget your home,” the President said, advising all Nigerians
\nliving in foreign countries to be law abiding and work very hard to
\nexcel in their studies and chosen careers.<\/p>\n

The President assured that his administration will always be
\npeople-focused, pointing out that all the programmes of the
\nadministration had been tailored to buoy the economy and protect the
\npoor and vulnerable.<\/p>\n

“We must create jobs to meet the growing demands in the country, and we
\nare looking at agriculture already,” he added.<\/p>\n

President Buhari noted that the government also introduced Social
\nInvestment Programmes to directly impact the lives of poor people.<\/p>\n

“Yesterday I met with Russian President, Vladimir Putin and we discussed
\nsome of the areas of shared interest which includes pushing for
\ndiversification of the economy in agriculture and solid minerals.
\nIncidentally we have a lot in common.<\/p>\n

“Russia exports crude oil like Nigeria, and it is the second largest
\nproducer of gas in the world. A lot can be learnt from their journey. We
\nwill collaborate in agriculture, oil and gas, and solid minerals
\nexploration,” he said.<\/p>\n

The Nigerian Ambassador, Prof Steve Davies Ugbah, said the President had
\nrestored the pride of all Nigerians by consistently meeting with
\ncitizens in countries he visited.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, the President of Nigerians in Diaspora\u00a0 Organisation
\n(NIDO) in Russia, Chukwujeku Ejike Sam-Fester, said President Buhari
\ndemonstrated a high sense of maturity and patriotism by visiting South
\nAfrica on October 3rd, 2019, to discuss issues relating to attacks on
\nforeigners, including Nigerians, in the country.
\n“We are proud of you for taking that step to reconcile not only Nigeria
\nand South Africa, but the entire continent,” he said.<\/p>\n

Sam-Fester urged the government to extend gestures like the National
\nIdentity Card, BVN, 10-year validity passport and encourage more
\nparticipation in governance by inviting professionals in foreign
\ncountries to provide services.<\/p>\n

In her remarks, a Nigeria female student in Russia, Kadija Mohammed
\nBabanzara, commended the President for consistency in payment of
\nbursaries to students.<\/p>\n

“Since you came into power, our bursaries are paid in full and timely.
\nWe are grateful,” she said.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
