Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/CEO Nigerians In Diaspora Commission has called on all participants at the European Union and International Organisation for Migration joint Management Workshop to make use of the knowledge impacted on them to join the fight against irregular migration.

This appeal was made in Abuja at the closing ceremony of the Workshop, focused on Lessons Learnt From Migration Management Programmes held from 2020-2022.

Dabiri-Erewa encouraged all stakeholders to come together and complement the efforts of the government in their own individual capacity by giving their best regardless of the National Situation.

“Migration is a natural phenomenon that cannot be stopped. However, irregular migration must be tainted and we all have a role to play.”

“Now that we are better informed, I appeal to us to take migration issues with utmost concern. The President Muhammadu Buhari Administration has repatriated over 10,000 Nigerians from Libya and other countries”

“IOM has also done a lot in this regard, yet there are still many Nigerians out there crying for help. Let us all give our contributions to curbing irregular migration by using the knowledge learned here and sensitizing our immediate society.” Dabiri-Erewa appealed.

European Union (EU) Representative Eleni Zerzelidou commended the Chairman/CEO of NiDCOM for being proactive in dealing with migration issues and urged the commission to take part in the sector of Fintech and Integration, noting that the commission has the potential.

The workshop was an EU-IOM Joint Initiative for Migrant Protection and Integration.

Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) has described the killing of 16 Nigerian travelers in Burkina Faso as unjustifiable, callous, and criminal.

In a statement by the Head of Media and Public Relations, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, the NIDCOM chair called on the Burkinabe authorities to fish out the perpetrators and prosecute them accordingly.

Dabiri-Erewa reiterated President Muhammadu Buhari‘s resolve to ensure “appropriate sanction”  through diplomacy to those who were involved in the wicked killing and said it was a condemnable and barbaric act.

The NIDCOM boss joined others in condoling the families and friends of the deceased and prayed for the safety of other stranded  Nigerians in the country.

“To those who were unjustifiably killed, especially as they were on a spiritual pilgrimage, may Allah accepts them into His martyrdom and quicken the pace of recovery of those injured survivors.”, she prayed.

It will be recalled that some Muslim pilgrims including 16 Nigerians were allegedly shot and killed by Burkinabe soldiers on patrol.

At a news conference on Sunday in Abuja, the Jam’iyyatu Ansariddeen Attijaniyya of Nigeria revealed that 16 of its members were shot dead by the Burkinabe soldiers on patrol.

They were reportedly on their way to the home country of their leader, Sheikhul-Islam Ibrahim Niasse, in Senegal when they met their untimely death.

The national secretary of the Islamic group, Sayyidi Yahaya, said the Ansaruddeen members were “randomly selected and cold-bloodedly shot to death in a most horrendous display of bestiality” after being stopped by the Burkinabe soldiers.
