Great choice to lead government’s efforts at Diaspora engagement!
Hon. Abike has worked so hard over the years to involve Nigerians in Diaspora in the great task of nation-building. This is a great choice by PMB
Fitting reward to Madam Abike Dabiri-Eluwa for years of hard work engaging the Nigerian Diaspora
The commision should clearly spell out its goals and objectives and this should not be yet again another Nigerian “white elephant” project. The commision could more double diaspora remittances and inflows from the present $22Billion dollars per annum to more than $50Bilion Dollars per annum if it helps create a conducive environment for Diaspora investments
Good one! We expect great progress
I will surely be at the Diaspora investment summit from November 27-29, 2018 in Abuja! Go Hon. Abike!
