She encouraged Nigerians abroad to seize the opportunity to contribute their expertise, talent, and knowledge toward Nigeria’s ongoing reform efforts.
“My brothers and sisters in the diaspora, this is an opportunity to key into this initiative. This is an opportunity to bring your expertise, knowledge, and talents back home to Nigeria,” she said.
Dabiri-Erewa also assured that NiDCOM is ready to partner with diaspora Nigerians in various capacities, especially in areas that align with the goals of the Nigeria First Policy.
The directive is part of President Tinubu’s broader reform agenda aimed at reducing dependence on foreign goods and services, boosting local content, and driving sustainable national development.
