According to Adesina, Julius Nwakpa, chairman NIDO who led the delegations praised the President for fervent war against corruption and urged him to put end to the killings going on in the country.
Nwakpa also thanked the president for signing the Diaspora Commission Act while asking for its final implementation.
Diaspora Commission bill was signed in 2017 by Vice- President Yemi Osinbajo who was the acting president when Buhari was on a sick leave.
