Thanks for this piece, Tolu. I want to contribute to the bit on the National Diaspora Day being on the 25th of July. The point of a national diaspora day should be more than just celebrating our diaspora but also remind them of home. What better time than during the customary celebratory year ends diaspora influx back home? I believe having even a diaspora week in December can help raise national consciousness about our diaspora and increase spending, FX influx and stimulate more economic activity, AND putting a branding of the “National Homecoming” by the government sends a strong positive message.
