Celebrating Nigerian diaspora in the UK
Am much looking forward to the London event on Wednesday when the Nigerian diaspora will interact with our Minister for Africa Baroness Kinnock and Nigerian Foreign Minister Ojo Maduekwe.
There's no difference between domestic and foreign policy in this globalised age. That's shown especially clearly with the Nigerian diaspora who are part of the fabric of British society but are also hugely important in bringing positive change home to Nigeria. They have expertise and skills in vital areas, from inland revenue to healthcare, from education or policing to law. Whether it's their money, their skills or their experience, they can help build the better governed political and economic structures Nigeria is still searching for 50 years after independence. That's hugely important for Africa, not just Nigeria. http://www.fco.gov.uk/en/news/latest-news/?view=News&id=21600605
