his honour at the residence of Nigeria’s Consul-General
Designate in Johannesburg, Mr. Okay Emuchay.

missions in their quest to perform their responsibilities.

Diaspora, in line with the mandate of being representatives of
the people.

Johannesburg but, urged Mr. Emuchay to explore his experience in
diplomacy to enhance relations between Nigeria and South Africa.
