The chairperson of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa has gotten Nigerians to react with her latest comment.
The comment was about Nigerians in the diaspora relocating back to Nigeria and she made this known at a recent press briefing at the state house in Abuja on Thursday, August 25. In her submission, she said:
“We speak of “japa” as a one-way phenomenon, but we also have Nigerians constantly returning home. There are examples of Nigerians returning home, occasionally or permanently, to do interesting things, in agriculture, healthcare, etc.
The hospital where the VP was recently treated was set up by diaspora doctors. I’m not saying Nigeria’s not a challenging environment, but we must also acknowledge those who are coming back home to do impactful things.”
