According
to Demola-Adeniyi, over the last 60 years, the Nigerian Diaspora
Community has contributed immensely to the growth and development of
Nigeria through human and capital support, and must be encouraged to

opening accounts online in Naira and other international currencies,
information on Ecobank’s bouquet of money transfer services that make it

proprietary solution, RapidTransfer and the RapidTransfer App. Other

planning and access to information on BVN Registration. Essentially, the
