ABIKE Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NIDCOM, has reiterated that Nigeria’s economic prosperity can be galvanised through a structured Diaspora Investment.

The NIDCOM boss stated at a strategic meeting with an Investment Group, Optiva Capital in Abuja that collaboration between Optiva Capital Partners and NiDCOM signals a pivotal step towards harnessing the potential of Nigeria’s Diaspora community, fostering sustainable economic growth, and strengthening ties between the Diaspora and their homeland.

Dabiri-Erewa added that Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NiDCOM, is 

willing to partner with Optiva Capital Partners in advancing Diaspora

investment and leveraging the capabilities of Nigerians living abroad.

She expressed satisfaction as the meeting aligns with the Commission’s core objectives, highlighting the significance of fostering a structured and symbiotic relationship with the Diaspora, stressing the importance of trust building.

Dabiri-Erewa further stated that the Diaspora Investment Structure would be privately driven, operated by and for the Diaspora community through platforms such as the Nigerians in Diaspora Investment Summit, which serves as a linkage for Diasporans to invest in various sectors of the Nigeria’s economy.

“NiDCOM serves as the bridge connecting Nigeria and its Diasporans, facilitating mutual growth and development,” she said.

Jane Kimemia, Chief Executive Officer, CEO, Optiva Capital Partners, expressed satisfaction with MIDCOM’s warm engagement promising to

strategically work with the Commission to double Diaspora investment  opportunities, fostering new business ventures for the Diaspora to reinvest in their homeland.
