Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa during the meeting with Professor Obaro
By Samuel Torlumun
The Chairman/CEO, Nigrians in Diaspora Commission, (NIDCOM), Hon Abike
Dabiri-Erewa, says building a new Nigeria can be actualised through a mutual and collaborative effort between Nigerians at home and those abroad.
The NIDCOM Boss stated this when she received a UK-based Nigerian Radiologist, Prof. Reuben Olu Obaro in her office in Abuja.
The reason for the visit is the plan donation and inauguration of medical equipment to some healthcare facilities in Ekiti state.
Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa commended Prof. Obaro for his concern for home
affairs and his innumerable contribution to Nigeria.
She said the likes of him are part and parcel of nation building and his
actions are worth emulating.
The Chairman of the Commission assured him that NiDCOM is ever ready to
render its support to his future projects.
Prof. Obaro believes that the gesture is a usual exercise on his part to give back to the community.
Prof. Obaro stressed that Nigeria is blessed with many human,
material and Intellectual resources, to reckon with countries like
Israel, India and China among others to lead the world’s black people.
He expressed his happiness that the dream of establishing a Diaspora Commission in Nigeria became a reality.
He commended Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa for her efforts in putting Nigeria
Diaspora on the global map and the country in general, as trailblazers.
Prof. Obaro is a Nigerian Radiologist with the King George’s Hospital in the UK. A resident of the UK for over 40 years, he
and his wife have supported the healthcare system, home and abroad well.
He has been recognised with many awards and recognitions one of which is, being
included in the NiDCOM’s Compendium of +600 Nigerians in the Diaspora.
