Abstract :
This paper is an examination of the role of the
Nigerian Diaspora in Nigeria’s socio-economic
development. The Ex-Post Facto research design was
adopted, using secondary data sourced from published
sources such as books, academic journals and other online
materials. The theoretical framework was anchored on
Global Modernity and data was analyzed via content
analysis. The paper found out that Nigerian Diaspora
remains a positive driving force for the nation’s socio-
economic development via huge financial inflows from
Diaspora remittances. In addition, the paper has also
showed how the Nigerian government can adopt global
Diaspora best practices using India and Philippines to
mobilize and harness the full potentials of her Diaspora
community. The paper recommends among others that
more Nigerian Diaspora engagement platforms should be
put in place to enable the nation benefit more from their
huge capabilities.
