Diaspora returns to the party, but Nigeria wants its genius

Nigeria's diaspora commission is hosting a convention at the JK Randle Centre in Lagos to get young Nigerians living overseas to bring their skills back home. The event will feature a million-naira innovation challenge, and Lagos Deputy Governor Dr. Kadiri Obafemi Hamzat is giving the keynote on diaspora collaboration. The whole thing is part of President Bola Tinubu's push to hit a trillion-dollar economy.

Officials want returning Nigerians to do more than just party during the holidays. The convention will have a career fair connecting diaspora people with local jobs through partners like DOWA. The government is basically saying that young Nigerians working in tech and business abroad need to help build the country instead of just staying away permanently.
