GOVERNOR ABIODUN LAMENTS MIGRATION OF NIGERIANS OVERSEAS FOR GREENER PASTURE

The Governor described the greener pasture Nigerian youths run after overseas as “a mirage”, adding that, “At 59, our dear country still has much work to do. We must remain patriotic. We must put our nation first. It is worrisome that our people are migrating to other countries for greener pastures.”

“While some of our current national challenge may make it tempting to seek fortunes outside our shores, we must also realise that these countries were once in our position with different challenges. And indeed, more often than not, the greener pasture is a mirage”, he added.

Penpushing further reports that  he called on Nigerians, with focus on  the youths to be more patriotic and contribute their quotas to the development of the country instead of seeking greener pasture, adding,.”we must not run away but stay and solve our problems together’.

‘I, therefore use this medium to encourage our people to come together as one and solve our challenges for the greater good of our Nation. If we do this, our great Nation will be better”,Abiodun emphasised

“We must realise that we are Nigerians before any other affiliation because of this, we should have the love of this country, whatever responsibilities that we are entrusted with, we should discharge them with fervour and commitment. It is worrisome that our people are migrating to other countries for greener pastures.”

“Our fifty-nine years of political independence as a Nation has not been all glowing. Our dear country survived three traumatic years of the Civil War between 1967-1970; we had our civil liberties curtailed under different military juntas. We also experienced the 1993 political impasse which was close to a National crisis, but we survived it.”
