MIGNEX Background Paper
Migration-relevant policies in Nigeria
This paper describes migration management regulations and practices in Nigeria and identification of opportunities for improved approaches, drawing upon the data collected about policy approaches and outcomes.
Key takeaways
Donors have shaped the design of many recent migration policies in Nigeria and pay for much implementation.
Yet there is a mismatch between EU and Nigerian political priorities in the area of migration.
The Nigerian Government prioritises policy on diaspora remittances and investment, and legal emigration channels; the EU prioritises the reduction of irregular migration.
