“Considering the huge amount of Diaspora remittances, this policy instrument is a veritable avenue by which the nation’s economic development can be accelerated.

She said the likes of him are part and parcel of nation-building and his actions are worth emulating.
In his remarks, Mr Obaro said Nigeria is blessed with many human, material and intellectual resources to attain the development level of countries like Israel, India and China and lead the world’s black people.
He also commended Ms Dabiri-Erewa for her efforts in putting the Nigerian Diaspora on the global map and projecting people in the country in general as trailblazers.
Mr Obaro, who said he has lived in the UK for over 40 years, is a radiologist with the King George’s Hospital in the UK.
