It's with utmost sense of responsibility that I assume the representation of a 72,000-strong community in the global Nigerian Diaspora.

I thank members of NIDO Germany for their trust in my leadership.

I pay tributes to our compatriots – gallant leaders and dedicated members, who have committed their time, their talent and their financial and other resources to the pursuit of a vibrant organised Nigerian diaspora in Germany and globally.

NIDO was conceived to promote the welfare of the Nigerian diaspora as well as an agency for Nigerian development.

I believe in the great potential of the organisation and dedicate myself to playing an active role towards making it fulfil the potential.

God bless you all.

On the many messages reaching him, Awoniyi writes “Dear Friends,
