He stated that nations such as China, which he has observed to be very disciplined and excel in infrastructural development, did not emerge out of thin air; rather, it required some hard reforms supported by the citizens themselves.
Tinubu made these remarks to members of the Nigerian Diaspora Organisation in China (NIDO China) and the Nigerian community at the China World Hotel to conclude his trip to China.
According to him, discipline and commitment were essential to national service, citing China’s disciplined society as an example for Nigerians to follow.
“I cannot tell you more, except the embassy, that China is a much-disciplined society, and we must also be disciplined. We cannot build a world-respected nation without discipline and commitment.
“We must capitalise on our diversity and be prepared to do whatever is required of us within the laws of the communities in which we live, while also reflecting a positive image of our country.”
President Tinubu emphasised the importance of investments in China’s economy and assured Nigerians in the Diaspora that Nigeria’s Bank of Industry is ready to work with them to leverage opportunities back home.
