#BBB NEWS| Details Of Diezani’s Foreign Diplomatic Passport Revealed In Interview With Dominica Officials

Journalist Till Bruckner, writing in the Huffington Post, interviewed two officials from the Caribbean nation the Commonwealth of Dominica government on the citizenship status of the former Minister of Petroleum Resources Diezani Alison-Madueke.

The Commonwealth of Dominica, like many small nations, allows for people who invest in the Dominican economy to receive citizenship under the law. This practice, which has been growing in popularity worldwide, is a major source of foreign direct investment into the Dominica according to the reporting by Mr. Bruckner.

Vince Henderson, Dominica's permanent representative to the United Nations, and Emmanuel Nanthan, the head of the country's Citizenship by Investment Unit, were interviewed on questions surrounding Dominica’s Citizenship Programme and its efforts to increase foreign direct investment.

The issuance of diplomatic passports to non-citizens is a crucial aspect of the program as it encourages various foreign business leaders to serve as “ambassadors” for the Dominica, according to the Dominican officials.
