The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR has assured that Nigeria will play a frontline role as a leader in Africa and the black race, noting that as the world is changing, the country will lead the way. The President made this known as he attended the BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The President said: ‘Nigeria associates with what I have heard at BRICS here in Rio, Brazil. The next issues are financial restructuring and reevaluation of the global structure. BRICS must not only be a bloc for emerging economies but also a beacon for emerging solutions rooted in solidarity, self-reliance, sustainability, and shared prosperity.We must be the architects of a future that addresses the specific needs and concerns of youths, who represent 70% of Nigeria’s population.’
‘I also took the opportunity to remind fellow leaders that Nigeria is not a passive participant in global affairs. We are taking bold, homegrown steps to accelerate renewable energy, mainstream climate action, strengthen urban resilience, and expand healthcare access. The world is changing. Nigeria will not be left behind. We will help lead the way’, Tinubu said.
