He argued that a shared sense of responsibility between residents both domestically and abroad was necessary for national development rather than government-sufficiency.

“I’m happy to hear what you’ve been saying. Many of our citizens are returning home, I’m pleased to report. Some people may choose to stay away from Nigeria for economic reasons, but that is a fundamental right of the individual. We really need your assistance. Who will build it if you stay away? Tinubu posed a question.
