As the 10th Senate takes form in readiness for effective legislature in the present Assembly, the Senator representing Anambra Central Senatorial District, Senator Dr. Victor Umeh OFR (Ohamadike Ndigbo) has been appointed the Chairman, Senate Committee on Diaspora and Non Governmental Organizations (NGO).
As Chairman of this vital Committee, Senator Victor Umeh will deploy his wealth of knowledge in addressing issues affecting citizens living abroad, promoting engagement and collaboration with the Diaspora Community, discussing policies that affect expatriates’ rights and interests, and facilitating communication between the Government and its citizens overseas. The Senate Committee on Diaspora and Non Governmental Organizations is also to provide parental care to the Nigerian in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM). It is also important to note that the people of South East (ndị Igbo) are a major block in the Diaspora Communities all over the world!
