The Chairman/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission Hon Abike
Dabiri-Erewa says if the content of the Nigeria – South Africa
Bi-National Commission is implemented to the letter, Early Warning
Systems, Security and Intelligence Gathering as well as People to People
Contacts will be achieved.
The NIDCOM Boss stated this at a high level meeting with the South
African High Commissioner to Nigeria Amb. Thami Mseleku in Abuja.
The NIDCOM Chairman/CEO believes that between Government to Government, there are no perceptions and mindsets but the challenges are People to People Relations, which NIDCOM is ready to work with the South African High Commission to address.
Meanwhile, the South African High Commissioner to Nigeria Amb. Thami
Mseleku explained that only a few bad eggs in both sides of the divide
that are sending out negative narratives which the government is working
hard to curtail. According to him, “crime is crime, it does not know
color, ethnicity or religion and should be treated as such.
The Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Government of the
Republic of South Africa in October 1999 established the Bi-National
Commission (BNC) called Nigeria-South Africa Bi-National Commission.
Signed,
Abdur-Rahman Balogun
