Speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily on October 2, a day after Nigeria’s Independence Day, Green said his perception of the country had changed after visiting Nigeria at least twice.
He said misconceptions often shape how Nigeria is viewed, adding that the country is making notable progress despite the challenges facing many citizens.
“But let me tell you from what I have seen of Nigeria, the reforms that have taken place and it’s been an absolute honour to be here during Independence Day yesterday and to celebrate that with you,” he said.
Green described Nigeria as “blossoming in so many areas,” citing the international activities of the Dangote Group and ongoing reforms as examples of developments attracting global attention.
“The changes the president is making have been phenomenal,” he said, adding that “Nigeria needs to be proud of what it is achieving.”
The global PR chief urged Nigerians to look beyond criticism and recognise the developments taking place in the country.
“Stop and take a moment and just look at what Nigeria is achieving currently and stop criticising,” he said.
“It’s easy to criticise but Nigerians need to take grasp of what they’re doing, of what’s happening and embrace it.”
Green also described Nigerians as “some of the proudest people around the world,” while encouraging citizens to appreciate the country’s achievements.
