The First Lady of Nigeria, Oluremi Tinubu, has urged Nigerians to all be Ambassadors of the country wherever they find themselves.

She made the call during her conferment with an Honorary Doctorate of Public Administration by the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State.

The First Lady while addressing the gathering made up of the academia and the graduands, noted that the nation is on the path of full recovery as industries are returning to the country while foreign investors are already signifying their readiness to do business with Nigeria.

“We must all be united and committed to nurturing it to reap the good of this land, for the sake of our generation and those to come.

“We must all be ambassadors of Nigeria and nurture our environment. Do not be afraid to dream big and never forget love for country,” she said.

Mrs Tinubu, who is an alumnus of the University announced that she is already rallying support from her fellow awardees and others including the Ooni of Ife Oba Enitan Ogunwusi to provide campus shuttle buses.

She endowed four prizes for competition among students of the institution.

Other Honorary Doctoral recipients include Mr Akinade Ogunbiyi, Professor Olusegun Adegbulugbe, Mr Olutokun Toriola and Mr Daere Akobo.
