She emphasised that the Nigeria First Policy comes at a critical time and would need Nigerians, home and abroad, working collaboratively with the current administration to build a more sustainable and forward-looking nation.
It adds the NIDCOM boss, Urges Nigerians abroad to buy into the policy, “My brothers and sisters in the diaspora, this is an opportunity to key into this Initiative. This is an opportunity to bring your expertise, knowledge, and talents back home to Nigeria.”
