76th UNGA: Citizens in diaspora mobilize support for Nigeria

Nigeria’s large diaspora population has continued its rally in show of support for the unity and development of the country..

Recall that diaspora Nigerians contribute foreign exchange in excess of $22 billion to the economy annually.

The show of support, in the form of rally and campaigns on New York streets, organized by United Nigeria Group, started since the ongoing United Nations General Assembly, UNGA, got off the ground a few days ago.

Several demonstrators chanting slogans in favour of the continued existence of Nigeria as an indivisible entity have been greeting passers-by with banners proclaiming “One Nigeria, One Destiny”, “We Want Unity, not Secession”, among others.

The goal of the organizers is to sensitize the global gathering of the developments in the country and show their support for President Muhammadu  Buhari in his effort to resolve the challenges facing the nation.

The rallies and campaigns are expected to continue till the end of UNGA.
