SARAKI GOES PROACTIVE!!! SAYS NIGERIA IS READY TO WORK WITH EU TO TACKLE ILLEGAL MIGRATION OF CITIZENS...SEE
Christian Rowland writing for ODOGWU MEDIA.......Senate President, Bukola Saraki, on Tuesday said that Nigeria was ready to work closely with the European Union in tackling the rising incidence of illegal migration from the country to Europe through dangerous routes.
Saraki, according to a statement in Abuja by his Chief Press
Secretary, Sanni Onogu, gave the pledge when a high level EU delegation
comprising representatives from United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain,
Netherlands and other European countries visited him in Abuja.
He stated that the National Assembly will collaborate with the
Executive to ensure that all pending agreements between Nigeria and
European countries on issues of migration and mobility are resolved and
signed by both parties as a direct means of preventing illegal migration
from the subregion to Europe.
He stated that already the Senate had commenced the enactment of
legislations that would foster better economic conditions in the country
as a way of discouraging illegal migration.
Saraki said: “We need to begin to see how best the two continents can
work very closely together to solve this challenge.
How best we address
the issue of migration will define the future of our two continents and i want to say that the Senate and the National Assembly, we are very
keen to see whatever we can do to support and facilitate bringing
solutions to it.
“Just last week there was a motion on the floor of the Senate and we
have set up a Committee to investigate the unfortunate incident of the
26 women that died recently as they tried to migrate to Europe.
“These are issues that i think we all have the responsibility as
elected members of parliament to see that we really put an end to them.
The level of criminality and criminal gangs that are now building up and
seeing this as a commercial activity is very scary and I think it is an
alarm we must sit down to find lasting solutions to.
