The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) and the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) are joining forces to tap into the expertise of Nigerians abroad to boost innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship.
At a meeting in Abuja, NiDCOM Chairman, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, and NASENI's Executive Vice Chairman, Khalil Halilu, said the collaboration will connect local innovators with global talents, supporting President Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda.
Dabiri-Erewa described the move as a timely bridge between Nigerians at home and abroad, while urging NASENI to participate in the 8th Nigeria Diaspora Investment Summit (November 11–13, 2025).
