President Bola Tinubu had said that nation-building requires perseverance and patriotism to succeed.
Tinubu said this while fielding questions from journalists shortly after inspecting the National Museum of Qatar, in Doha.
The President, who was in Qatar on a two-day official visit, was conducted round the sprawling edifice located in the heart of Doha.
The Museum is built around Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim Al-Thani’s original palace which had served as the seat of government for 25 years, and provides a voice to Qatar’s heritage, whilst also celebrating its future.
“It is great to document culture from the beginning of history, the culture of civilization, collaborations, challenges and perseverance of leadership,” Tinubu said.
He expressed happiness for the opportunity to take a guided tour of the edifice, adding that he was happy to be there.
While also fielding questions from newsmen, the Minister of Art, Culture and the Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, hinted of plans to replicate similar projects in Nigeria to add value to Nigeria’s creative industry.
The President was conducted round the edifice by Mohammed saad Al Rumaihi – CEO of Qatar Museums.
