Event Summary

President Bola Tinubu delivered a Democracy Day address, urging young Nigerians to remain in Nigeria and contribute to national development instead of emigrating, a trend known as 'japa'. He emphasized that the nation's future depends on the commitment of its youth to build, code, work, and vote locally. Bola Tinubu highlighted government initiatives like the Nigeria — Nigerian Education Loan Fund and agricultural support programs to create opportunities and improve living standards. This appeal comes amid growing concerns over the outward migration of young professionals and skilled workers, driven by economic hardship and unemployment, as evidenced by a Odunayo Eweniyi survey.
