Mrs. Dabiri-Erewa will discuss the Federal Government’s response to the global pandemic, especially as it affects Nigerians trapped outside the country.

The show will also feature head of media and communications of the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons (NCFRMI), Alkasim Abulkadir.

Also confirmed to appear is broadcast journalist and coronavirus survivor, Omayeli Odeli.

She brings intimate knowledge as a survivor and a member of Nigerian community in the United Kingdom.

Speaking on this week’s theme, Ms. Iyanda said: “At the heart of migration is the human desire to be more. Similarly, at the heart of refugee crisis is human society’s failure to do more.
