FG woos Diaspora Nigerians for investments, knowledge transfer

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Amb. Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, has called on Nigerians living abroad to contribute to Nigeria's development through their expertise, investments and networks. The call came during a town hall meeting with Diaspora Nigerians in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. Vice President Kashim Shettima attended the meeting, demonstrating the government's commitment to engaging with Nigerians overseas.

Odumegwu-Ojukwu emphasized that Nigerians abroad are more than just remittance senders; they are professionals, entrepreneurs, academics and innovators who can serve as crucial bridges between Nigeria and the international community. She urged the diaspora to uphold Nigerian laws and contribute to the nation's growth through investment, knowledge transfer, mentorship and international business linkages.
