The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) has commended Amb. Zubairu Dada, the outgoing Minister of State, Foreign Affairs and supervising Minister of NIDCOM, for making the job easier for its management.
Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the Chairman of NiDCOM, gave the commendation when she led a delegation of Management Staff of the Commission on a farewell visit to Dada in Abuja.
Dabiri-Erewa recalled that every time the commission called on the minister, he makes himself available promptly, thus giving NiDCOM confidence.
“Indeed, it is a pleasure to have worked under you. You are a part and parcel of the history of NiDCOM.
“NiDCOM is part of your legacy, just as the saying, you can’t cut a stream from its source,” Dabiri-Erewa remarked.
She thanked the minister for his support, counsel and midwiving the baby commission.
“NiDCOM started with nothing, but today, we have a policy and a robust annual calendar all achieved under your fatherly guidance”.
