See what Nigerians in Qatar did to Buhari when he addressed them yesterday (photos)

As part of his activities in Qatar, President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday, February 28, visited the Nigerian community in country.

Photos obtained by Naij.com showed the Nigerians living in Qatar taking photos of President Buhari as well as cheering him after the meeting on Sunday.

The president charged Nigerians to rekindle the spirit of patriotism and selfless service to encourage more foreign investment in the country.

Speaking at a town hall meeting with members of the Nigerian community in Doha, President Buhari assured them that the federal government would continue to create the enabling environment for investments in the country, anchored on peace and security.

He said: “We have abundant natural and human resources in the country, including huge oil and gas deposit.

“But the challenge is securing those installations and to persuade some of our countrymen to be more patriotic and stop sabotaging the installations.

“When people are being abducted and some are being murdered, when installations are being blown up now and then, the incentive for people to invest in our infrastructure is quite slim.”

The president also vowed to look into the complaints of alleged blanket denial of visas to families and relatives of Nigerians intending to visit the State of Qatar.

“Like I tell other Nigerians living in other countries, you must be good ambassadors of the country because globally things are quite difficult in terms of security and the economy.

“If you have something doing, please hold it tight to your heart and try to improve on it because things are quite difficult all over.

“For us in Nigeria, we are trying to do our best to reduce unemployment and we realised this quite early enough, that was why we campaigned on the diversification of the economy,” President Buhari explained.

Below are photos from the event:
