Q: What is really unique about establishing the commission for Nigerians in the Diaspora? Will it bring in foreign exchange and jobs for Nigerians? on Vanguardngr.com
A: The commission is going to attract some of the most coveted multi-national investors to Nigeria within a very short time. The commission is going to serve as an eye-opener to those who have been waiting on the wings to see if they can come into the country and invest. It is going to allay all the fears that successful Nigerian and foreign investors have been nursing over the years and open the doors to a flurry of opportunity for Nigerians. By so doing, development that has been eluding Nigeria will come with jet speed if the Government will allow us in Diaspora to pilot the affairs of the commission un-inhibited.
