-Dabiri-Erewa
Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa Chairman/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) has re-emphasised the need for Diaspora skills transfer to obtain excellence and efficient service delivery in the Healthcare sector in Nigeria.
Dabiri-Erewa stated this at discourse with Dr Monica Simi Alabi, a Nigerian-UK based medical specialist in Healthcare Policy and Leadership in Abuja.
She noted that the development of any country is a collaborative front of both the inner circles of the country and its Nationals living and working in the Diaspora.
The NIDCOM Boss maintained that Nigeria has the top best medical practitioners in the world, that if they partner with the medical practitioners at home, will boost Nigeria’s healthcare delivery system.
Dabiri-Erewa applauded Dr. Alabi for making the nation proud and urged others to be inspired by the UK doctor, while assuring her of the Commission’s availability to support her vision in whatever capacity for the country.
Dr. Alabi explained that her purpose for the visit is to push for a policy that will enable access to better medical attention within every three kilometre radius in the country, as she raised that healthcare is very key, for a healthy nation equals a growing GDP.
She also stated that such practice is done in the UK and believes this is doable in Nigeria, especially since the country recently transitioned to a new government under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu.
Dr Alabi who is a member of the Doctors for Change initiative and WimBiz, requested for partnership between such organisations and NiDCOM.
Dr. Monica Simi Alabi is a UK medical practitioner of Nigerian origin. She is a philanthropist, and an expert in policy and leadership in the healthcare system, as well as the Founder and convener of Beyond Wealth Initiative.

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has reiterated its commitment to strengthening grassroots security and community-based intelligence across the country as tools for tackling insecurity.
The Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Prof. Ahmed Audi gave the commitment during his working visit of Anambra State as part of his continued strategic operational tour of the South East.
Audi, who was received by the Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Charles Soludo, noted that his visit was aimed at assessing the welfare of personnel, understanding field challenges, and reinforcing the Corps’ operational capacity in the region.
Speaking during the courtesy call at the Government House, Awka, the Commandant General commended the Governor for his administration’s proactive efforts in maintaining peace and stability. He also solicited greater logistical and infrastructural support to enhance the NSCDC’s performance in the state.
He said: “Security must begin from the grassroots. That is where the people live, work, and build the future. The Corps remains resolute in delivering quality service and ensuring that the confidence of Nigerians, particularly Ndi Anambra, in our operations is not misplaced.”
Soludo, in his response, commended the NSCDC for its professionalism, discipline, and resilience, especially in safeguarding critical national assets and public infrastructure.
He said: “Here in Anambra, the Light of the Nation, our greatest asset is our people: creative, enterprising, and innovative. They are the engine of our economy. Ensuring their safety and prosperity is a shared responsibility, and we appreciate the NSCDC for standing firm in that mission.”
The governor pledged continued partnership and support for the Corps, affirming that security remains the foundation for the state’s economic growth and innovation-driven development.
The Commandant General’s tour of Anambra is part of a nationwide operational assessment aimed at improving welfare, operational readiness, and synergy among security stakeholders. It underscores the NSCDC’s renewed focus on community trust, proactive engagement, and service excellence under Prof. Audi’s leadership.
