dc.description.abstractThis Paper discusses in retrospect diaspora earnings of Nigerians abroad otherwise known as remittances under the civil rule of former President Olusegun Obasanjo (1999-2009). Indeed, realizing the importance of remittances as used by other countries such as India, China, and Lebanon for developmental purposes; the Obasanjo regime set up Nigeria Diaspora Commission in 2000. Accordingly, this paper x-rays the uses of remittances under the regime. The emphasis in the paper focuses on the pattern of remittances collection, allocation as well as comparative effect of collected remittances on Nigeria's development in terms of employment and infrastructural distribution across Nigeria. The findings show that remittances have begun to have some developmental effect on Nigerians. The Methodology for carrying out this study is a multidisciplinary approach cum historical perspective. It is hoped that the study will contribute to the ongoing discussion on remittance studies in Nigeria.en_US
