The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission is partnering with the African Cultural Festival to host the African Diaspora Summit in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, United States.
Supported by the Government of Pennsylvania and the Dauphin County Commissioners, the event will bring together global leaders, creatives, entrepreneurs, and policymakers under the theme “Africa to the World: Culture, Creativity, and Collaboration.”
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NiDCOM, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, described the September summit as an opportunity to harness Diaspora expertise, promote youth and women empowerment, and advance Africa’s creative economy as a driver of innovation and stronger global ties.
The three-day festival will feature cultural showcases, youth leadership forums, business networking sessions, and celebrations of African creativity through fashion, art, music, film, technology, and cuisine.
NiDCOM is expected to present Nigeria’s creative sector, forging strategic partnerships that align with the country’s economic and cultural development goals.
The African Cultural Festival was officially unveiled on March 26, 2025, at the Capitol Rotunda in Harrisburg. It will celebrate nine Duduplugs of fashion, music, art, technology, film, dance, literature, food, and home.
