In a statement issued by Gabriel Odu of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, she noted that under Buhari’s leadership, Nigeria sought to harness the expertise and resources of its citizens abroad, fostering stronger ties that have contributed to economic growth and diplomatic influence.
Dabiri-Erewa urged Nigerians at home and abroad to continue embodying the values of integrity and selfless service that Buhari championed.
As the nation mourns, the Commission called on all citizens to honour Buhari’s legacy by advancing Nigeria’s standing on the world stage through unity and active participation in national progress.
