He noted that legal migration would not only offer economic benefits but also help strengthen the ties between Nigeria and the destination countries.
“We thank you very much for creating time to come and share with us the opportunities that abound in your chamber.
“I must tell you that the two subject matters that you’re highlighting here—on labour migration and vocational skills development—are part of the core mandate of this ministry.
“Even though you are here on a courtesy visit, we will create time for interaction between our officials in the ministry and your delegation to see how we can mutually benefit from these opportunities that abound.
“This vocational training in particular is part of the core mandate of the ministry, seeking to create jobs for the teeming population of our country.
“Some of the people trained, who migrate to other countries, will eventually come back to train our people, and we are going to benefit a lot from this kind of relationship,” he said.
The minister, however, assured the delegation of the willingness of the federal government to partner with them to achieve common goals and promote mutual interests of Nigeria and Germany.
