Nigeria in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) has said country’s citizens living abroad were the nation’s “greatest assets”.
Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the Chairman of NiDCOM, made the declaration which is expected to trigger a backlash.
According to NAN, 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.
