No part of Nigeria can thrive in isolation – Tinubu warns

President Bola Tinubu has said that no part of Nigeria can thrive in isolation.

The president said every region of the country has its specific role to play in national development.

Speaking on Wednesday, May 22, at the Taraba International Investment Summit in Jalingo, the president said food security and regional economic inclusion are Nigeria’s gateway to long-term stability.

Represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, the president said investment in agriculture is of vital importance to Nigeria’s economic growth.

“Food sufficiency is the first currency of national stability. This is why we have prioritised agriculture as the anchor of our national strategy,” Tinubu said.

He further commended the governor of Taraba State, Agbu Kefas, for his vision in creating an environment for development.

“Our ultimate awakening as a nation begins with this realisation that no part of this country can thrive in isolation.

“What Taraba offers the nation is more than its breathtaking mountains or fertile valleys; it is a strategic contribution to our shared prosperity,” he said.
