Nigerians
in Diaspora Organisation Russia
(NIDO-Russia)
is a Chapter of the Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation Europe (NIDOE). NIDOE
is the European arm of a global network of Nigerians in Diaspora, with
Headquarters in London. Other continental arms of the global Nigerians in
Diaspora are in the Americas (NIDO-Americas), Asia (NIDO-Asia) and Africa (NIDO-Africa).
NIDOE-Russia,
as chapter of the NIDO Europe is established as a forum for Nigerian
professionals residing in Russia to participate in the development of
Nigeria. Serving as a platform for Nigerians to network, NIDOE-Russia is
committed to tapping into the knowledge and skills of Nigerians in both
countries in concert with other Nigerians in the Diaspora for the
development of Nigeria.
Since May
2007, when a new impulse was given to the physical establishment of NIDO-Russia,
the Organisation has
resolved
to continue to strive to greater heights.
The
Government of Nigeria (at both the Federal and states level) recognizes the
organization as the official platform through which individual Nigerian
Diaspora, their community organizations, and corporate bodies can channel
their developmental efforts to Nigeria. In this sense, the organization
partners with Nigerian community / professional organizations as well as
public and private businesses in focused areas such as Foreign Direct
Investment (FDI), professional networking, stakeholder advocacy, medical
missions, educational support and technological and IT skills transfer to
Nigeria.
The core
vision of Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation is to develop effective,
unified platform for Nigerians abroad to harness their talents, expertise
and resources for Nigeria national development and nation building.
