Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation-Americas General Assembly (NiDOA-GA) has reiterated its commitment to promote national unity and foster progress among Nigerians in the diaspora.
This was disclosed in a resolution issued by the Vice-Chairman of the NiDOA Board of Trustees, Ms Bukola Sonuga, from the outcome of the NiDOA-2024 Annual General Meeting (AGM) and World Conference.
The event with the theme: ‘New Nigeria: Fresh progress, vision of united NiDO’ was attended by 75 persons in Cleveland, Ohio, in the U.S.
Sonuga said, “The assembly remains committed to advancing NiDOA’s mission to promote unity and foster progress among Nigerians in the diaspora.
“With renewed leadership and focus, NiDOA aims to rebuild trust, restore operational integrity, and continue driving meaningful impact for Nigerians worldwide.”
She noted that NiDOA-GA deliberated extensively on critical issues that affect the organisation’s operational structure in a business session attended by members and two observers.
According to her, the focus is on years of disruptions, grievances, and harmful activities that have undermined the organisation’s unity and credibility.
“The assembly highlighted persistent challenges, including deliberate misinterpretation of NIDOA bylaws for personal gain, bylaws violations, and misconduct.
“Dissemination of misinformation and defamation of the NIDOA brand, misrepresentation, impersonation and trademark infringement. Theft and breach of the NIDOA membership hi-database, Illegal hosting of parallel AGMs, and false communications with Nigerian government officials. Formation of unauthorised parallel NiDO structures with fake leadership titles, and alignment with the Nigerian Inspiring Development Organisation, Calgary, Canada to sabotage and undermine the activities of NiDOA.
“Inspite of exhaustive efforts to reconcile with the breakaway actors, the assembly concluded that decisive action was necessary to protect the integrity and mission of NiDOA,” she said.
The vice-chairman, also disclosed that the assembly with one member exception had indefinitely suspended some members for violations of established laws.
She further added that the executive members of the NiDOA Board of Trustees had unanimously reaffirmed the election of its leaders to steer the organisation until the next election with a date to be determined.
