ABUJA- President Bola Tinubu on Thursday congratulated Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), on her 62nd birthday anniversary.

Dabiri-Erewa will be 62 years old on Friday (Oct. 11).

The President, in a statement by Mr Bayo Onanuga, his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, commended her passion for building a better Nigeria through her various public roles.

Tinubu recalled Dabiri-Erewa’s illustrious career in public service, which first brought her to national prominence during her active days as a broadcaster with the  Nigerian Television Authority (NTA).

“She carved a niche as an authority on covering human-interest stories and skillfully anchoring the weekly NTA Newsline programme with flair, empathy, insight and credibility,” he said.

The President noted that millions of Nigerians who watched her in this role saw her as a household name.

“Her contributions to the nation, particularly in her efforts to bridge the gap between Nigeria and its diaspora, have extended far beyond the newsroom, making us all proud and appreciative of her work,” the President said.

He commended Dabiri-Erewa for her exemplary service as Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Diaspora Affairs, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, and as the pioneer Chairman/CEO of NiDCOM.

The President lauded her tireless efforts to ensure that the rights of Nigerian migrants were respected.

He also commended her work in facilitating investment and business opportunities between Nigeria and the Diaspora.

Tinubu affirmed that the former parliamentarian had proven to be a role model for women in politics.

“Her relentless dedication, optimism, courage and commitment to excellence inspire many Nigerian women to take on leadership roles in the political arena,” he said.

 Tinubu prayed that the Almighty would grant Dabiri-Erewa many more years of good health and service to the nation. (NAN)
