“This is because several youth have lost their lives in the process of migrating to Europe through Libya among other dangerous routes.

“The issue of irregular migration has become a very worrisome issue of concern to the Federal Government of Nigeria.

“It is really timely that we are making efforts, through this partnership, to address irregular migration and re-integration of voluntary returnees.”

“We are strongly committed in terms of implementation and we will offer whatever it takes to ensure the successful implementation of this agreement,” the permanent secretary said.

Earlier, the GIZ Country Director, Dr. Thomas Kirsch, commended the federal government on the partnership.

Kirsch said the partnership would promote regular migration and support voluntary returnees in the areas of social and economic re-integration.

He also said that the partnership was aimed at supporting the efforts of the federal government at curbing and discouraging irregular migration.
