President Bola Ahmed Tinubu returned to Abuja on Thursday, August 28, 2025, following a state visit to Brazil and an earlier visit to Japan.
Shortly after his return, Tinubu stated that his international engagements are focused on fostering economic growth, job creation, and long-term prosperity for Nigerians.
In a statement shared on his official X handle, Tinubu said his commitment to restoring Nigeria’s global standing while delivering tangible benefits to citizens remains paramount.
This comes after he travelled to Japan and Brazil. He said: “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.
“Every handshake, every agreement, and every meeting is guided by one goal: to secure opportunities that translate into growth, jobs, and prosperity for Nigerians,” Tinubu said.
The President explained that his recent visits to Japan and Brazil were targeted at unlocking critical investments.
According to him, Japan offered new avenues in industry, technology, and human capital development, while Brazil opened up partnerships in trade, agriculture, aviation, and finance.
He added that his meetings also strengthened the confidence of Nigerian business leaders in the economy.
“This is the new Nigeria we are building together, a Nigeria built on sustainable reforms that will outlast us rather than one built on rhetoric. A Nigeria that is confident abroad, resilient at home, and determined to create value for every citizen, at home and in the diaspora,” he declared.
