Continue To Project Nigeria Positively – NIDCOM BossTells Nigerians Abroad 

Posted on July 6, 2026
The Chairman/CEO,  Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has reiterated the need for Nigerians to always celebrate the country’s achievements and project its positive image, rather than dwelling solely on negative narratives.
Dabiri-Erewa made the call during a visit to two distinguished Nigerians in the United Kingdom, Councillor Christopher Adegoke, Chairman of Nottinghamshire County Council, the first person from an ethnic minority background to occupy the position since the council’s establishment in 1889.
Also, Councillor Rosaline Oguro, who was recently sworn in as Mayor of Islington.
At Nottinghamshire, she described Councillor Adegoke’s election as another testament to the excellence, resilience, and leadership qualities of Nigerians in the diaspora.
Receiving the NIDCOM boss in her office, Mayor Ogunro thanked her for the visit and urged Nigerians to continue to project the good image of the country wherever they found themselves.
In the same vein, Dabiri-Erewa celebrated the outstanding academic achievements of the duo of Dorcas Akanbi, a Nigerian medical graduate from Rostov State Medical University in Russia, who graduated with an exceptional 4.90/5.00 CGPA as well as Dr. Monilola Adeshina, who emerged as the Valedictorian and best graduating student of the Medical Class of 2026 from Medical University of Silesia, Katowice, Poland.
Dabiri-Erewa  described the feat as a reflection of the brilliance, determination, and global competitiveness of Nigerian youths, noting that such accomplishments continue to elevate Nigeria’s image on the international stage.
She commended all the four Nigerians for making the nation proud and urged other Nigerians abroad to continue striving for excellence while remaining worthy ambassadors of the country.
Dabiri-Erewa emphasised that while no nation is without challenges, Nigerians must deliberately celebrate the country’s success stories and the positive impact its citizens continue to make globally.
According to her, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration has embarked on far-reaching reforms and critical infrastructural development initiatives aimed at repositioning Nigeria for sustainable growth and national prosperity.
She, therefore, urged Nigerians in the diaspora to continue supporting national development by contributing their expertise, investments, skills, and global networks toward the country’s progress.
Dabiri-Erewa reaffirmed NiDCOM’s commitment to engaging and celebrating outstanding Nigerians abroad whose achievements continue to enhance the country’s image on the global stage.
