Advertising Expert Tasks Diaspora Nigerians On Dev

Worried by the rate of under-development in Nigeria, an advertising expert, Mr Francis Abiodun, has urged Nigerians in the Diaspora to invest in the country’s economy, so as to improve the people’s standard of living.
He said that many Nigerians living in advanced countries, who have financial resources had failed to invest in developmental projects that could change the living standard of Nigerians, as well as create employment for the people.
Abiodun, the chairman of Linker Holding Limited,, who made this known to newsmen in a chat at the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa, Thursday, noted that a difference in Nigeria’s economy could be made through the wealth of experiences of accomplished Nigerians in the Diaspora.
The advertising Mogul who expressed optimism about Nigeria’s future, identified the widening infrastructure gaps as an opportunity for Nigerians in the Diaspora to invest for rapid development.
According to him, there was need for those in the Diaspora to network the people who have experience within and outside the country in carrying out the project.
“It is possible to make it in Nigeria. The work we are doing with our outfit and its unit companies over the past three decades is testimony to the fact that investment in Nigeria can be a wise decision,” he said.
He also noted that every successful business was driven by the quality of people behind it and urged those in Diaspora not to neglect investing in Nigeria.
