Jide Jadesimi, Executive Director of LADOL, was invited to speak at the Nigerian Diaspora Direct Investment Summit (NDDIS) recently held in London. The 4th NDDIS is dedicated to mobilising the Diaspora to set up small and medium scale industries in Nigeria to create employment for young Nigerians to address the issues, to stimulate solutions, to create deals and to move beyond the usual ‘talkshop’. Nigeria’s huge Diaspora population can be a portent force for national transformation. The High Commissioner of Nigeria to the United Kingdom will declare The Summit open.

The NDDIS was set up with the following remit.
-It will provide the opportunity for Nigerian States to lay out their projects and programmes and to engage with the diaspora to maximize the effectiveness of every investment and every project.
-It will give the Federal Government and it parastatal Agencies the opportunity explain their strategies and the incentives and opportunities they are creating
-It will give the diaspora the opportunity to engage directly and bring forward projects and business opportunities that matter to them and their families and their communities.
-International investors will be offered qualified investment opportunities in Infrastructure, Agriculture, Industry and Services.
