Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, has said that his principal, President Bola Tinubu should embark on more foreign trips.

Ambassador Yusuf said this on Sunday evening during a live broadcast monitored by SaharaReporters on Channels TV, stating that the country has money to fund more travels for the President and members of his cabinet.

The minister underlined the benefits of President Tinubu’s prior foreign tours, which he described as having a good impact on Nigeria’s economy.

He said: “Look at the benefits, you travel once and you get N2 million dollars of investment like he did to Brazil, where other countries are chasing after them. But President Tinubu was able to secure that, to invest in developing livestock. They are the largest player in that sector. Slaughtering 50 million chickens every day, 8 point something million cows and look at the Brazilian cows that are 500kg compared to ours that are 250kg. This will also solve herders-farmers’ crisis.

“In fact, I would rather say we are not travelling enough, we should do more. Nigeria has the money. How much does travelling cost compared to the benefits? And how much does it cost comparing it to the things that the President has already addressed?”
