The Commissioner for Special Duties & Intergovernmental Affairs, Barrister Femi Ogunbanwo who made this known in a statement, said the establishment of the office would improve and sustain strong socio-cultural and economic relations with the Diaspora for national development, and it would also promote policy consistency and coherence through the establishment of strategies that promote collaboration and synergies among existing Diaspora strides.
