A Twitter user, @Kunleaderemi has alleged that the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission only engage London based Nigerians.

Aderemi who is a professional FDI Expert focused on Investments in Africa made this observation in a tweet to the Chairman of the Nigerians in the Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa.

According to him, more Nigerians live outside London compared to the ones resident in the United Kingdom capital.

He, therefore, appealed to Dabiri to extend the commission's tentacles beyond London to Nigerians outside the England capital.

"@abikedabiri Statistically, there are over 350,000 Nigerians living outside London, compared to less than 100,000 living within London and its immediate environs. NiDCOM has only engaged with only London based Nigerians," he tweeted.



Abike promised to look into the matter, as she assured him that the commission would spread its tentacles to Manchester and Birmingham soon.
