President Muhammadu Buhari has endorsed the establishment of the Nigerian Diaspora Investment Trust Fund, a private sector investment window for Nigerians in the Diaspora to be able to support direct investments in the country.
Buhari also pledged support for the establishment of the Diaspora Intervention Fund to support the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission to fulfil its mandate.
He noted that the foreign exchange remittances by Nigerians in the Diaspora have not only helped families but enhanced the development index of Nigeria.
This is as he said Nigeria is open to welcoming the Diaspora Direct Investment by compatriots abroad.
He said this at the presentation of a compendium entitled +600 Diaspora Icons @60, published by the NiDCOM.
In her remarks, the Chairman/CEO of NiDCOM, Abike Dabiri-Erewa  said the idea of the compendium was to change the negative stereotypes by the activities of a few Nigerians who do not represent the country well.
