The Federal Government of Nigeria has said that it is making efforts to curb the irregular migration pattern by Nigerians through policies and programs that will boost the economy and create employment.
Sen. Abubakar Bagudu, the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning had made this known at an Anti-Migration Summit organised by the Blacks Ancestral Native Communities (BANC) on Thursday in Abuja.
According to Bagudu, the irregular migration had a lot of unforeseen negative outcomes such as human trafficking and drug peddling, to mention a few.
According to him, the Federal Government fully acknowledges the urgent need to advance the Nigerian economy to an admirable level where it can support her leadership status as the pride of Africa.
What They’re Saying
Senator Bagudu had said;
“A two trillion dollar economy will support the correction of all of what we are here talking about, such as the irregular migration or the “Japa” syndrome in Nigeria.
“Nigeria is not seeking to end migration by her citizens but to ensure that people only migrate out of choice not by compulsion.
“The present administration is making strident efforts to curtail irregular migration by Nigerians through policies and programs that will boost our economy and create employment.” he said.
