Sir, just like other responsibilities that you have undertaken in the past, I know you will discard your duties to the best of your ability.
Sir, as my Leader, Boss, Mentor, Tutor and benefactor of great measure, I am elated that such a great and enormous committee as been commissioned unto you, it is only a confirmation of your strong intellectual sagacity and dexterity.
Sir, it is an open fact that you are in a class of your own intellectually, professionally, academically and politically as your records speaks for itself.
All these said Sir, I feel strongly compelled to implore you and your committee members to take a cursory look at the ever recurring xenophobic attacks involving Nigerians in South Africa, the unjust treatment and deportation of our people in Ghana, the continued incarceration of our people in China, Singapore and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia without recourse to fundamental human rights.
There is also the need for your committee to take a strong position against the undue and unjust visa charges charged by the American and UK embassies, these fees are not only exorbitant but also obnoxious and fraudulent as survey as shown that on 5% of the applicants are eventually granted visa. This and many other reasons accounts for why our citizens die on the Mediterranean Sea, in the deserts of Libya, Morocco, Tunisia and other parts of the world as illegal immigrants. Although, this will be considered a policy of the affected governments, yet history and posterity will avail you of speaking up when you had the opportunity.
Lastly Sir, as a man who as travelled far and wide himself and who had on various occasions had personal contacts and interactions with Nigerians in the diaspora from different fields and works of life, I will implore you to work hand-in-hand with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Nigerian Diaspora Commission headed by our Hon. Abike Dabiri Erewa, the various Embassies and High Commissions in and outside the country and other bodies involved in making life better for Nigerians in the Diaspora.
Sir, I am hopeful that your assignment shall be one that will bring succour to millions of Nigerians in the diaspora.
Regards!
