New Nigerian Diaspora Movement And The Use Of NIDCOM Logo
The attention of NIDCOM Management has been drawn
to a group that calls itself ” New Nigerian Diaspora Movement” and the
circulation of a video where the logo of the Nigerians in Diaspora
Commission was boldly used to package their activities. The use of
NIDCOM logo by the group is fraudulent, and mischievously attention
seeking .For the avoidance of doubt, NiDCOM is a government agency set
up to look in to the affairs of Nigerians abroad particularly to support
their goals in contributing to the development of Nigeria while they are
abroad.
Our Mandate:
Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, provide for the engagement of
Nigerians in Diaspora in the policies, projects and participation in the
development of Nigeria and for the purpose of utilising the human
capital and material resources of Nigerians in Diaspora towards the
overall socio-economic, cultural and political development of Nigeria
and for related matters.
With the foregoing, we take a strong exception to the use of the
Commission’s logo which invariably only shows that the group is
desperately clout chasing.
Let us state categorically that the group’s goals and objectives do not
align with the enabling laws that established NiDCOM and as such, we
request that the logo be pulled off from further use and circulation.
The use of the Commission’s logo requires an approval, in this
instance, no such thing exists.
At NIDCOM, we remain committed to the goals and objectives of supporting
Nigerians abroad to partner with the government of Nigeria through the
use of their skills, knowledge and expertise. We will continue to engage
with Nigerians abroad to work with Nigerians at home to build a Nigeria
of our dreams as specified in the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola
Ahmed Tinubu.
