The president made this call at the Townhall a With Nigerians In The Diaspora, in New York on Saturday.
Mr Buhari further charged Nigerians in the U.S. to continue to excel and be responsible ambassadors of Nigeria.
“It is gratifying for me to note that many Nigerians in the USA have continued to excel in their careers leading to some being appointed into the cabinet of His Excellency President Joe Biden.
“I congratulate those who have brought honours and pride to our country. I thank and commend them for their respective successes as I equally urge them to demonstrate the highest sense of responsibilities in order that they continue to remain reference points of excellence as they serve human kind in this country,” Mr Buhari said.
