Nigeria want doctors in Diaspora

*"We want an organization where our *children from abroad can come back home *and participate here, our children like *doctors, lawyers, in Diaspora". And we *hope we can do that through a policy. *Minister of foreign Afairs, Mr. Geoffrey *Onyeama

Mr. Geoffrey Onyeama, on saturday disclosed a plan to implement a foreign police for Nigerians leaving in abroad, at a press meeting held in Abuja on saturday 25 june he said.

"For the fact that everything you do you must have a policy, So we are working with relevant bodies to have a policy in place. Relevant bodies like doctors in Uk, Lawyers in Diaspora, To articulate a policy that will guild every Nigerian in abroad And we are almost done actually.  By the time we fine-tuned everything, we will put it out there for Nigerians in abroad to make the final contributions".

"Very soon, the president Mohammed buharis administration will have a concrete policy for Nigerians leaving in abroad, and its critical, infact it should have been done so much earlier because abroad dynamics will determine 24 century and we as a country should not be left behind. At least 26 countries have full ministries for abroad".

"So it's very important because the African Union is now dividing us into six regions in abroad. A policy is critical for the foundation of anything and for it to continue. So that policy is being worked on and its been given a mandate by the president to come up with a policy and we are almost running behind schedule already but  we are almost done".

So, our mission is to have that policy, and then we will have everything else tied to the policy and that is why it is very critical and we have to make it realistic and practicable, and make sure we have that policy very soon".

We don't want to give much details about it yet, but is going to be an engaging policy, we are  also going to learn from other countries, ofcuse there has been a draft already, we are just building on the draft, there has been a stake holders meeting, various groups were involved in the drafting, including Nigerians in Diaspora".

But we have to take it more  higher to ensure that we get it fully right this time. It has gone through a long process so it's about time to get it done and put it out there and actually present it to the Nigeria public".
