Nigeria in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) says citizens living
abroad were the country’s “greatest assets”.
NiDCOM Chairman, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, made the declaration
which is expected to trigger backlash.
NAN reports that her comment was contained in a statement by
Gabriel Odu, the commission’s spokesman.
Dabiri-Erewa spoke when Nigerian Association of Pharmacists
and Pharmaceutical Scientists in the Americas (NAPPSA) presented items to the
National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) in Abuja.
The NiDCOM chief said the association always responds to
demands from Nigeria.
She was quoted as saying it did not matter what part of the
country diasporas come from because “home is the best.”
NCDC Director-General, NCDC, Chikwe Ihekweazu, said a
country would be considered great when its citizens come together to work for
the common good.
