As Nigeria marks National Diaspora Day 2026 today, July 25th, the Akwa Ibom State Government proudly congratulates every indigene living, working, and thriving abroad.
You are not forgotten, and not far.
This year proved that truth in the most tangible way. Diaspora doctors and health specialists deployed to Uyo, bringing world-class medical expertise back to the hospitals and communities of the state. It stands as a powerful reminder of what becomes possible when diaspora and homeland work as one — knowledge, skill, and resources flowing home to build lasting impact.
A State That Welcomes Its Own
The ARISE Agenda of His Excellency, Pastor Umo Eno, continues to open doors for Akwa Ibom sons and daughters abroad to invest, partner, and build alongside the state. From healthcare to infrastructure and beyond, the opportunities for meaningful diaspora engagement have never been greater.
Akwa Ibom is proud of you — and we invite you to keep building with us.
Happy National Diaspora Day.
Hon. Linda Akon Umoh
SSA to the Governor (Diaspora Matters) and Akwa Ibom State Diaspora Focal Point Officer
