Adaora Akojume
The Chairman and CEO of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Hon Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has congratulated Adaora Akojume of Beta Agric Ventures for emerging the best pitcher at the just concluded 8th Nigerià Diaspora Investment Summit organized by the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission in collaboration with the Nigeria Diaspora Summit Initiative held on 11th to 13th November, 2025 at the State House Conference Centre, Abuja.
Adaora secured a N250 million investment offer from Mr Christopher Obode from New Jersey, USA, for her innovative agribusiness model.
The visibly excited and overwhelmed Adaora with her tomato Paste model product attracted more offers among investors who promised to adopt her product as a test product going forward in major local and international Summits.
Dabiri-Erewa praised the summit for showcasing the potential of Nigerians in the diaspora to drive economic growth and development.
She added that the Nigeria Diaspora Investment Summit (NDIS) has continued to reveal how Nigerians in the Diaspora and Nigerians at home can work together to create jobs, stimulate investable ideas and innovations and cement trust.
The Nigeria Diaspora Investment Summit has continued over time to resonate actionable investment drives, practical busines, marriages, and match-making ventures as against rhetorical and talk shows.
Participants, investors, and sponsors have continued to demonstrate evidence-based results of economic emancipation and shared prosperity.
The event attracted over 50 pitchers, 15 sponsors, and 900 physical participants, with over 2000 virtual attendees globally.
