Dabiri-Erewa applauds NiDO-Americas for promoting Nigerians’ interests abroad

On Tuesday, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission CEO, applauded the Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation-Americas for advancing the common interest of compatriots living abroad.
Ms Dabiri-Erewa praised the leadership of NiDOA in a virtual address during the NiDOA 2024 annual general meeting and world conference held in the U.S.
She praised the leadership of NiDOA for the efforts it has been investing to foster unity among Nigerians living abroad.
On the need to establish a diaspora board, Ms Dabiri-Erewa explained that all statutory boards could be constituted only by the president.
According to her, former President Muhammadu Buhari did not constitute some boards while in office, including the NiDCOM board.
She added that President Bola Tinubu would constitute the NiDO Board at the appointed time.
Lot Egopija, Nigeria’s consul general in New York, congratulated NiDOA for organising the AGM. According to him, the AGM makes it easy for everyone to see NiDO’s activities.
“In moving the nation forward we should be setting the pace for other countries and regions.
“The consulate is ready to support NiDOA in achieving its set objectives.
“We can work closely together to set the standard for other countries across the world, which is one thing I look forward to achieving,” Mr Egopija said.
