President Muhammadu Buhari has called on Nigerians in diaspora to invest in the Nigerian economy, saying that his regime was working assiduously to secure the country.

“We are also working assiduously to protect all Nigerians whether at home or abroad to feel safe and attain their full potentials in life.

“Our agriculture, housing and real estate, ICT, healthcare, education and services sectors among others are waiting for your inputs and investments considering your global exposure.

“Let me urge you to key into the programmes of NIDCOM to make your contributions,” Mr Buhari said.

The president made this statement at a town hall meeting with Nigerians in the Diaspora, during the 26th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), according to a statement by his aide, Femi Adesina.

Mr Buhari added that with “the establishment of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Nigerians abroad can now seamlessly contribute their quota to national development.”
