Minister of state for foreign affairs, Zubairu Dada has stated that Nigerians in the diaspora will soon be able to vote from their countries of residence.<\/p>\n

This was stated by the state minister for foreign affairs at a\u00a0webinar organised by the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM).<\/p>\n

The event, themed \u2018Mobilising Nigerians in the Diaspora for National Development\u2019, was attended by Nigerian in the diaspora.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe national assembly is working closely with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)<\/a> to fashion a way to actualise diaspora voting. I remain very optimistic that in the not-too-distant future, it should be possible for Nigerians in the diaspora to participate in our national elections, \u201d the minister said.<\/p>\n

According to Dada, there are about 17 million Nigerians in foreign nations making significant impact on the country\u2019s economy that could not be ignored.<\/p>\n

He emphasised the importance of effectively mobilising Nigerians<\/a> in the diaspora who he described as critical components of the country\u2019s development.<\/p>\n

Dada urged citizens living abroad to remain patriotic and committed to the country\u2019s development irrespective of the current security situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo matter how long you stay abroad, there is no place like home, I urge you to remain patriotic and committed to the development of your fatherland,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe federal government is doing everything humanly possible to address the current issues of insecurity in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

He lamented the lack of cordial relationship between the country\u2019s mission abroad and citizens in the diaspora, advising Nigerians not to wait until they have problems before locating the mission.<\/p>\n

He noted that efforts are being made to address the problem of bad eggs in some of the country\u2019s foreign missions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
