President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has declared that despite his successful professional experience in the United States, he chose to return home to contribute to the country’s development.
Speaking on Friday during a meeting with members of the Nigerian Diaspora Medical Association, the President reflected on his early career in the U.S., where he trained with Deloitte & Touche and built a career in accountancy and finance.
“There is nowhere like home. I have experienced being in America and have taken the best of America in my chosen profession, accountancy and finance.
“Where can I apply it best after initial training with Deloitte & Touche? I can’t forget the Standard Oil Building in Chicago and my first week there,” Tinubu said.
The President noted that while his experience abroad shaped his professional outlook, he remained convinced that his knowledge and expertise would have the greatest impact in Nigeria.
His comments follows an engagement with Nigerian medical professionals in the diaspora, where he encouraged greater collaboration between the government and Nigerians abroad in strengthening the country’s healthcare system and national development.
