The wife of Nigeria’s President, Oluremi Tinubu, has urged Nigerians to be patriotic and inspire positive change.
She said this while receiving the Ambassador of the Republic of Turkey in Nigeria, Hidayet Bayraktar in her office at the State House Abuja on Thursday.
According to Mrs Tinubu, “We have not explored in our country. We have so much that God has blessed us with.
“I know Turkey wants to encourage Nigeria and the whole of Africa and we are grateful.
“We are looking forward to when Nigeria would take her place in the comity of nations, and that would be very soon.”
Earlier, Ambassador Hidayet Bayraktar disclosed that Turkish Nationals are looking forward to improved collaborations with Nigeria especially in Security, Energy, Construction, and using entertainment to enhance culture and health.
“We are hoping that a Turkish Hospital would be established here and that would reduce medical tourism.
“People should get to know Nigeria and its culture through the film industry,” he said.
He informed the First Lady of the eagerness of her Turkish counterpart to attend the forthcoming Organisation of African First Ladies for Development, OAFLAD and Nigeria’s campaign launch of #We Are Equal to be held on Monday 13th May, 2024.
