NIDO-Russia
is a Chapter of the Nigerians In Diaspora Organisation Europe (NIDOE), 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).
NIDO-Russia 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 and Russians in both countries in concert with other Nigerians in
the Diaspora.
The Government of Nigeria
(at both the Federal and states levels) 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 aims to
partner with Russian and Nigerian 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.
With the creation of the
Nigerian National Volunteer Service (NNVS) at the Presidency and the recent
establishment of Federal Parliament House Committee on Diaspora Affairs,
Nigerians In Diaspora Organisation now stands more privileged than ever
before to be heard and cooperated with by all the organs of government in
Nigeria. All Nigerian Embassy Missions are directed to enhance the
functionality of NIDO in their areas of accreditation.
NIDO Russia is a
non-government, non-political, a true pan-Nigeria Diaspora organisation,
devoid of any ethnic, gender or religious differences. The core vision of
Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation is therefore, to develop effective,
unified platform for Nigerians abroad to harness their talents, expertise
and resources for Nigeria national development and nation building and also
to encourage and assist foreign investors to invest in Nigeria. Just as the
Organisation’s motto goes “In pursuance of National Development”, NIDO
Russia has resolved to continue to strive to greater heights in the
achievement of this goal.
This website is aimed at
getting you acquainted with information about the Organisation, its aims &
objectives, organizational structure and its activities in mobilising
Nigerian professionals and other interested parties in Russia for Nigeria
national development.
