Diaspora Nigerians Remit $21bn For 2015 by maximunimpact(m): 2:51am On Mar 31, 2016 |
Nigerians in the Diaspora have remitted the sum of $21 billion to the country in 2015 according to a report by the Global Knowledge Partnership on Migration and Development (KNOMAD). Ekpo Nta, chairman, Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), who made this known at a Board Meeting of the International Anti-Corruption Academy (IACA) in Austria, called on Nigerians in the diaspora to collaborate with ICPC in the fight against corruption. Given the Government’s zero-tolerance for corruption this was the best time to complement the Federal Government’s job creation effort by investing in cottage industries, especially in their home communities. “Such industries, he opined should be targeted at manufacturing hitherto imported items for the huge local market and refining local products for export. “ICPC would continue to treat all petitions from NIDO members expeditiously through continuous investigation, prosecution and conduct of Corruption Risk Assessments in relation to any person or public institution that creates corruption bottlenecks for their investments, especially in the areas of property acquisition and business partnerships”, he said. Nta who was a Special Guest of Honour during their Extraordinary Annual General Meeting at the official flagging off of Nigerians In Diaspora (NIDO) Germany Anti-corruption Campaign for Nigerians in Germany, said that ICPC’s mandate was to promote strong public institutions “Even if we successfully prosecute and jail every looter, ghost worker and other economic saboteur, there is every risk that those caught will only be replaced by persons who are just as bad, or worse – unless we radically strengthen our systems and institutions”, he added. NIDO Chapter Presidents from other European countries who were in attendance called on the ICPC to enter into similar partnerships with them. Thereafter the ICPC chairman inducted all participants as members of the National Anti-corruption Volunteers Corps (NAVC) of ICPC and decorated them with special arm bands. http://www.financialwatchngr.com/2016/03/31/diaspora-nigerians-remit-21bn/ |

A large portion of that money were generated by nigerians in nigeria who are been paid by yahoo yahoo,drug cartels,google adsense,elance,fiverr,amazon,clickbank,adfly and foreign investments. Nigerians in diaspora are not as generous and succesful as it's been portrayed here Most of them even think they are better than us here in nigeria.......Could you imagine. Is it the $100 that they send to home that makes up the $21bn I don't hate nigerians in diaspora but i hate the mentality and belief they have about we remaining here. 3 Likes |

This may be exaggerated, $21Billion is 7 Trillion Naira, so Diasporan contribute more than the Federal government with all its oil wells. Yes people living abroad remit money home but certainly not $21B not even half of it |

The South as a country would have been a great nation, Lord Lugard finished us when he amalgamated us with the north in 1919.
