The Chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission NiDCOM, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has restated Nigerian Government’s commitment to providing welfare to the African descendants globally.
Dabiri-Erewa said this when the African Diaspora Union AFRIDU, led by its President, Chidiebre Ogbu, paid her a courtesy visit in Abuja.
The visit was to seek collaboration with NiDCOM ahead of the upcoming African Diaspora Investment Summit, slated for October in Nigeria.
The NiDCOM chairman assured AFRIDU of its collaboration, saying that this followed the directive by the Office of the President to liaise with the diaspora union to ensure a successful hosting of the event.
She said that the summit would attract more than 2000 African descendants under AFRIDU.
According to her, on the issue of citizenship right of the African descendants under AFRIDU, it’s a constitutional matter.
