The 9th edition of the Nigerians in the Diaspora Investment Summit (NDIS) ended in Abuja, the Nigerian capital, on Wednesday amid widespread optimism that the summit had made significant achievements in deepening the diaspora investment climate in Nigeria.
The Chairman/CEO of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Dr Abike Dabiri-Erewa, during her closing remarks, noted that Nigerians in the diaspora would continue to be a beacon of hope for the country as they bring in more remittances to develop critical sectors.
Represented by the Acting Secretary of the commission, Hon. Abdulrahman Terab, the NiDCOM boss said the commission and its partners had succeeded in assuring Nigerians that the issues of trust deficit, transparency and access to credible investment opportunities would be adequately addressed by the commission.
