Nigerian Immigrant Service President Asks UK To Respect Them
The Nigerian delegation was headed by Idris Isah Jere, the chairman of the National Immigration Commission, to Abuja on Wednesday to discuss certain concerns regarding immigration between Nigeria and the UK.
The commission's head claimed that the signing of the immigration cooperation agreement with the United Kingdom had resulted in an attention-grabbing advertisement.
He claims that the agreement between the two nations has contributed to a decrease in the number of illegal immigrants from Nigeria entering the UK.
According to him, "The signing of the cooperation agreement on immigrants is not only to create the relationship between the countries but also to open the way to continue cooperation to protect the citizens of both countries and to deal with the threats that are being faced."
"I would suggest that it is good to respect people who have been brought back from migration and to respect them as human beings."
Jere brought up the issue of Nigerians having trouble getting visas to enter the UK and stated the agency is working with the British government to find a solution.
He did, however, draw attention to how beneficial it is for them to plan their official travels for government employees.
He also commended the UK for its strategy to stop people trafficking between Nigeria and Niger, which he claimed had become an issue.
"The program has helped Nigeria to cooperate closely with the Republic of Niger in solving the problem of migrant smuggling," the official said.
He promised that the agency would continue to actively carry out its responsibilities.
