The federal
government is desirous to provide a conducive environment for Nigerian
residents in the US, to contribute their positive quota to the growth
of the nation. Nigerian Ambassador to the United States, Adebowale
Ibibapo Adefuye has said.

Mr Adefuye, who
spoke during a visit to Georgia, where he held a maiden Town Hall
meeting with the representatives of the Nigerian Community in Atlanta,
commended Nigerians in Diaspora for being good emissaries of their
country, and encouraged them to maintain their pride, to hold their
heads high and be proud of their national heritage.

Over 70 Nigerians,
including representatives of the Alliance of Nigerian Organisations in
Georgia, members of the Media and the Nigerian intelligentsia attended
the event hosted by the Consul General of Nigerian in Atlanta, Chudi
Okafor.

“We are a country
of a good 150 million people, and the incidence of a few not-too
good-people should not be uncommon. The good Nigerians in Diaspora far
outnumber the few miscreants tarnishing our image,” he said.

“The present
government is determined to stop corruption in its track and make
Nigeria a place to go back to with fondness and fulfilment.”

President of the
Alliance of Nigerian Organisations in Georgia, Titus Olowookere, in his
remark thanked the Ambassador and his entourage for their commitment to
bring government to the ‘grassroots’ and meet with Nigerians in smaller
settings, and relate to their sojourn in America.

Mr Olowookere reminded them that they are all in fact ambassadors of
their country with huge responsibility to create a positive image in
the community, to be above board in all their dealings and to leave a
good legacy of integrity and good conduct for succeeding generations of
Nigerians in Diaspora.
