He said that Nigerian national and state universities were working on a center of excellence on migration” while calling for the support of ICMPD and other international organizations towards the success and development of Nigeria.

He said the meeting became necessary particularly as the “Japa movement” increased, where many youth travel out of the country through the irregular means.

Responding, Sedef Dearing, the Director for Migration Dialogues and Cooperation of the ICMPD, pledged the organization’s support to Nigeria on bridging the gaps in the Nigeria migration process.
