ABUJA — Nigeria’s Ambassador to Hungary, Engr. Abass Braimoh, has pledged to prioritise the welfare, unity and legitimate interests of Nigerians in the country as part of efforts to strengthen relations between the Nigerian Embassy and the diaspora community.
Braimoh made the commitment when he received members of the executive of the Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation (NIDO), Hungary Chapter, at the Nigerian Embassy in Budapest.
A statement issued by the Office of the Ambassador said the meeting was aimed at strengthening engagement between the Embassy and the Nigerian community in Hungary.
It said the engagement provided an opportunity for both sides to discuss issues affecting Nigerians in Hungary and explore areas of cooperation.
The NIDO delegation was led by its Chairman, Hon. Chief Komolafe Omotunde, and included the General Secretary, Aese Agaigbe; Financial Secretary, Oyun Adesoye; Social Secretary, Aese Cynthia Aese; and Treasurer, Erenwa Olaedo Cynthia.

He reaffirmed his commitment to promoting unity, constructive engagement and mutual support among Nigerians in Hungary and other countries under his diplomatic responsibility.
The ambassador said the Embassy would continue to support initiatives aimed at advancing the legitimate interests and aspirations of Nigerians in the diaspora, while encouraging community stakeholders to work together to address challenges and create opportunities for collective progress.
He also stressed the importance of a strong working relationship between the Embassy, NIDO and other Nigerian community organisations.
According to him, such collaboration was necessary to build a cohesive and supportive Nigerian community capable of contributing positively to Nigeria’s image and broader diplomatic and economic interests.
Responding, NIDO Hungary Chairman, Omotunde, assured the ambassador of the organisation’s readiness to work with the Embassy on initiatives aimed at improving the welfare and wellbeing of Nigerians in Hungary.
“We must work together,” Omotunde said, pledging NIDO’s support for programmes that promote unity, responsible citizenship, mutual assistance and constructive engagement between Nigerians and the Embassy.
He expressed confidence that closer collaboration would provide a more effective platform for identifying challenges confronting members of the Nigerian community and developing appropriate responses.
The meeting ended with both sides expressing commitment to strengthening communication, cooperation and representation of Nigerians in Hungary.
The engagement is expected to provide a platform for closer coordination between the Embassy, NIDO and other Nigerian community organisations on issues affecting Nigerians in Hungary.
