PHOTOS: Nigeria Unveils Grand Book at Diaspora Investment Summit
The federal government on Thursday unveiled the Grand Book at the 8th Nigeria Diaspora Investment Summit (NDIS) in Abuja — a launch that marks a major step in advancing The Nigerian Project, a national initiative adopted and signed forward by the President and implemented in partnership with NIDCOM, 1st October Ltd, with archival contributions from Daily Times Nigeria and global endorsement from AfricanAncestry.com (USA).
Led by the minister of information in collaboration with Daily Times Nigeria, the unveiling was one of the standout moments of the summit, which brought together investors, policymakers and key private-sector stakeholders. The Grand Book captures investment opportunities, transformative success stories and emerging sectors where Nigerians abroad are driving impact.
This year’s summit centred on strengthening sustainable and innovative avenues for diaspora investment across technology, agriculture, renewable energy, infrastructure and the creative industry. Participants explored frameworks to unlock capital flows and deepen partnerships to support long-term economic growth.
The Grand Book sits at the heart of The Nigerian Project, a nationwide positive-perception and heritage initiative developed through more than a decade of research, storytelling and strategic collaboration. The project combines the publication with diaspora resource centres — known as the Wazobia Initiative — to reshape how Nigeria is represented and remembered locally and globally.
Through curated exhibitions, global outreach and unified national branding, The Nigerian Project aims to present Nigeria’s evolution — its people, creativity, enterprise and resilience — while connecting Nigerians worldwide and inspiring new investment. Its central message is captured in its national brand tagline: “The Nigerian Project: Reclaiming the Narrative, Reimagining the Future.”
