NIDCOM at one: Celebration of a dream come true
The inauguration last year of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission under the presidency of Muhammadu Buhari was a material culmination of decades-long advocacy within a reinstituted democratic dispensation for the appropriate formal recognition of the Nigerian Diaspora as a vital component of the Nigerian state. The effort in itself was logical, considering that Diaspora in history and myth across the world is always associated with abundance in relation to the homeland.
From this stage on, Dabiri-Erewa proposed and pushed at the National Assembly for the passing of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission Bill, which was passed at the 7th National Assembly before the expiration of the Jonathan administration in 2015.
The first such feat of implementation by NIDCOM under the leadership Dabiri-Erewa was the final validation of the National Diaspora Policy in Abuja by stakeholders and other partners drawn from across a wide range of national and international interests. Another significant achievement was its various interventions in response to hostilities against Nigerians at their destination countries.
Within Nigeria, the Commission has also collaborated with some MDAs to mainstream and project the intersection of Diaspora with their activities. It has also continued to interface with the relevant committees at the National Assembly for improved performance. The collaboration effort of NIDCOM also resulted in participation in the annual Diaspora Festival Badagry held in October 2019.
