The Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission NIDCOM, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, says her office has received numerous appeals from foreign nationals interested in obtaining Nigerian passports.
Dabiri-Erewa made this known at a press briefing in Abuja, on Wednesday, October 21.
Dabiri-Erewa said the volume of requests had become significant, with some applicants asking her office to approach the President on their behalf. She stated that many of these foreigners have developed interest in Nigeria while others are considering investments and stronger connections with the country.
“On my table, you see a lot of people telling us to beg the President to be able to give them Nigerian passports. Ask the Minister of Interior. It’s too much,” she said
To illustrate her point, she recalled a woman who told her team during a recorded interaction that she had visited Nigeria and did not want to return to her country of residence.
Crazy!
This woman no get sense at all. Which foreigners are looking for which passport? The one that has lost it’s visa free entry status Abi na another one.
Igbos and Obidiots will soon come here to say she's lying. You think everyone lacks integrity like you. The hate you have for other Nigerian tribes will become your albatross, and will eventually KPAI all of you.
If you believe her lies, I have an airport in Nigeria to sell to you for just N1,000,000! All these lies because our passport was recently downgraded.
With all due respect ma, what do you gain from telling lies? NoSingle honesty within tinubu led APC government. You can deceived some of the people sometimes not all the people all of the time.
