President Muhammadu Buhari has endorsed the establishment of the Nigerian Diaspora Investment Trust Fund (NDITF), a private sector investment window for Nigerians in the Diaspora to support direct investments in the country. He noted that the foreign exchange remittances by Nigerians in the Diaspora have not only helped families but enhanced the development index of Nigeria. The president described the 327-page compendium as a historical record of the worth of Nigerians globally, and noted that the names of people and the fields they have excelled speak about their resilience and how exceptional Nigerians, both at home and abroad, have become. The Diaspora Commission launched a compendium of excellent Nigerians in the Diaspora to recognise, celebrate and showcase Nigerians who are doing great things in their host countries and contributing to the socio-economic development of Nigeria. President Muhammadu Buhari reminded Nigerians of their duty to celebrate fellow Nigerians who are excelling in different paths and to continue to be of exemplary behaviour and with determination to offer quality services that contribute to the progress of humanity.
