Speaking at a press briefing organized by the Association of Recruiter License Placement Agencies of Nigeria (ARLPAN) in Lagos, themed “Effect and Implications of Consistent Irregular Migration,” Dabiri-Erewa underscored the urgent need to combat irregular migration.
Represented by NiDCOM staff member Mr. Oladele Ogunkanbi, she acknowledged the relevance of the event’s theme, especially with the growing “Japa” trend in Nigeria. She described irregular migration as a pressing national issue that requires collaboration between public and private organizations to address its root causes and dismantle illegal recruitment networks.
Commending ARLPAN for its efforts in curbing irregular migration, Dabiri-Erewa reaffirmed NiDCOM’s commitment to working with relevant agencies to ensure safe and legal migration.
ARLPAN President, Mr. Rex Bamidele Jacob, highlighted the root causes of irregular migration, including economic hardship, misinformation, human rights violations, and false promises by unauthorized recruiters. He warned that unethical recruiters put vulnerable Nigerians at risk, with many falling victim to trafficking, fraudulent schemes, or legal troubles abroad due to incomplete or falsified immigration documents.
Jacob called on stakeholders to help eliminate the operations of unlicensed recruiters, whom he identified as key contributors to Nigeria’s rising irregular migration crisis.
He also emphasized the role of the media in raising awareness about the dangers of irregular migration. As part of both short-term and long-term solutions, Jacob advocated for stricter enforcement of legal migration agencies, stronger international cooperation, improved border management, and public sensitization programs that balance security concerns with humanitarian considerations.
