Abuja, February 9, 2022.
Chairman/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Hon Abike Dabiri-Erewa, says building a new Nigeria can be actualised through a mutual and collaborative effort between Nigerians at home and those abroad.
The NIDCOM boss stated this when she received a UK-based Nigerian Radiologist, Prof. Reuben Olu Obaro in her office in Abuja.
The reason for the visit is the planned donation and inauguration of medical equipment to some healthcare facilities in Ekiti state.
Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa commended Prof. Obaro for his concern for home affairs and his innumerable contribution to Nigeria.
She said the likes of him are part and parcel of nation building and that his actions are worth emulating.
The Chairman of the Commission assured him that NiDCOM is ever ready to support his future projects.
Prof. Obaro stated that the gesture is part of his efforts to give back to the community. He stressed that Nigeria is blessed with many human, material and intellectual resources, to enable her to reckon with countries like Israel, India and China among others and to position her to lead the world’s black people.
He expressed his happiness that the dream of establishing a Diaspora Commission in Nigeria became a reality. He also commended Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa for her efforts towards putting Nigeria Diaspora on the global map and the country in general, as trailblazers.
Prof. Obaro is a Nigerian Radiologist with the King George Hospital in the UK. A resident of the UK for over 40 years, Prof. Obaro and his wife have supported the healthcare system, at home and abroad.
He has been recognised with many awards, one of which is, being included in NiDCOM’s Compendium of +600 Nigerians in the Diaspora.
