NiDCOM Boss To Hold Virtual Conference With Nigerians in Diaspora
Oru Leonard
Chairman/CEO Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Hon (Mrs) Abike Dabiri-Erewa will hold virtual conference with diasporas on Wednesday April 28, 2020.
According to Mr Jacob Ogunseye, the scheduled virtual conference which holds by 4.30 pm Nigerian time, will explore amongst other issues, the potentialities of Diaspora engagement into development, as well as the policy and programmatic options that can be designed in order to maximise these potentials. The development potential of Diasporas is now largely acknowledged by a wide range of stakeholders. This potential derives from the financial and non-financial resources that Diasporas have accumulated abroad and can mobilise for necessary investments in the home country, Nigeria.
The role of Nigerians in the Diaspora drives increasing interest among a variety of stakeholders in areas such as development, poverty reduction, economic growth, trade or post-crisis (i.e. COVID-19) recovery. Avenues are continually being sought to increase collaboration between the home country (Nigeria) and Nigerian citizens’ resident outside the country.
Diaspora resources are not limited to financial assets, but also encompass skills and knowledge that can be applied to mutual developmental benefit. It is therefore important to encourage and engage continuously Diaspora members who desire to contribute to the development of Nigeria and share their resources in a productive way.
Hon (Mrs) Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/CEO, NIDCOM will be the special guest of honour while the Diaspora Leader, Prince Ade Omole will be Host/Moderator.
