The Presidency has accused some Nigerians living in the diaspora of demarketing Nigeria through negative narratives and portrayals of the country abroad.
The allegation comes amid ongoing efforts by the Federal Government to improve Nigeria's international image and attract foreign investment, tourism and business opportunities.
The Presidency expressed concern that negative reports about Nigeria from citizens abroad could affect how the country is perceived internationally.
It urged Nigerians in the diaspora to contribute positively to the country's development and image while continuing to raise legitimate concerns about issues affecting the nation.
The development is expected to generate debate among Nigerians at home and abroad over the balance between national image-building, constructive criticism and the right to speak about challenges facing the country.
The Presidency maintained that Nigerians abroad have an important role to play in projecting the country's achievements and attracting opportunities that can contribute to national development.
