My Advice To Nigerians Abroad -Diaspora Commission Chairman

The Chairman/CEO of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has an advice, and a crucial one as that for Nigerians living abroad

She gave the advice in a statement signed on her behalf by the Director of Media, Public Relations, and Protocols Unit, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, on Sunday.

In it, the former broadcaster and politician, advised them, to continue investing in their home country, assuring them that Nigeria remains an investor-friendly destination.

The statement was a response to a petition from the Foreign Investors Network (FIN) about the demolition of a $250 million real estate investment by Winhomes Global Services Limited in Okun Ajah, Lagos.

The group, led by President Ifeoma Nkengwu and Country Representative Rev. Emmanuel Olorunmagba, raised concerns over the incident allegedly carried out by the Minister of Works, Sen. Dave Umahi.

Mentioning sectors such as health, ICT, agriculture, and real estate, as viable investable areas in the country, Dabiri-Erewa also highlighted the Nigeria Diaspora Investment Summit (NDIS) as a valuable platform for diasporans.
