Enjoy Bi-National Ties, But Keep Nigeria Close to Your Heart – Dabiri-Erewa Tells Dual Citizens
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, (NIDCOM), Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has called for unity among Africans.
She also urged Nigerians in the Diaspora with dual citizenship to keep a foot at home and wave the green-white-green flag as a badge of honour.
Dabiri-Erewa made this plea while welcoming Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidinma Onwe Adetshina, at NIDCOM’s office in Lagos.
The NIDCOM boss commended Chidinma’s bounce-back amidst the circumstances surrounding her emergence as Miss Universe Nigeria. Chidinma’s resilience, she says, is a perfect snapshot of that Nigerian energy which has become our hallmark all over the world.
