To stem the trend of illegal migration, particularly among the youth, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Dr. Abike Dabiri, said policies and legal frameworks on prosecution of traffickers of young people should be strengthened.
Dabiri said labour laws aimed at protecting migrants’ rights should be strengthened. She also recommended the engagement of Nigerians already in the diaspora as job mobility drivers between countries.
Dabiri made the suggestions yesterday in Abuja in her keynote address during the Rabat Process thematic meeting centred on “Youth, Education and Innovation: Driving the Future of Migration.”
