The 2023 Global African Diaspora Symposium (GADS) themed ‘Building Stronger Connections between Africa and the Global Diaspora’ is scheduled to hold in Nigeria between Aprila 27-28 at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Abuja.
Abike Dabiri-Erewa, chairman/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) stated this at a joint World Press Conference to midwife GADS in Abuja.
She said Africa must take its pride of place on the global map, as it cannot be relegated to the background anymore given its huge human and natural endowments.
Dabiri-Arewa will also co-chair the event which is targeted at Africa to form impactful engagements with its Diaspora and the African Union’s (AU) first African Global Diaspora Summit in 2021, which encourages partnership among member-states.
GADS is organised by the African Diaspora Alliance (AfDA), Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS), Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) and the Directorate of Technical Cooperation in Africa (DTCA).
