The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) has announced the 9th Nigeria Diaspora Investment Summit (NDIS), slated for Abuja on Nov. 10 and 11.
Announcing the programme of activities, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the Chairman/CEO NiDCOM, represented by the Acting Secretary of the Commission, Dr. Abdulrahman Terab, at the pre-event media briefing, said transparency, credible institutions, investor protection and reliable information are vital to building diaspora investors’ confidence.
She noted that the Nigerian diaspora could contribute up to $100 billion annually through strategic investments.
According to her, the two-day summit will hold on November 10–11, 2026, virtually on Zoom, with limited physical attendance at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja.
Discussions will cover capital-market opportunities, infrastructure, public-private partnerships and regulatory frameworks.
The NiDCOM Boss added that the Summit will feature participation from key institutions, including the SEC, NGX, CBN, MOFI, NEXIM Bank, ICRC, NSIA, CAC and PEBEC.
She noted that interactive sessions will also provide participants with direct access to regulators, project sponsors and verified service providers.
Dabiri-Erewa thanked First Bank of Nigeria and other partners for their continued support, while inviting Nigerians in the diaspora, professionals, investors and entrepreneurs to participate.
Mr. Mobolaji Lewis, Chairman, Nigeria Diaspora Summit Initiative (NDSI), reaffirmed that this year’s summit will focus not just on capital generation but also on building a well-structured, transparent and credible investment system.
Lewis explained that the decision to adopt a virtual format was informed by the forthcoming 2027 general elections.
He further noted that the 2026 Summit will serve as a foundation for the landmark 10th anniversary edition in 2027.
He encouraged interested participants to register via www.ndisng.com or visit the website for further information.
