NiDCOM Chairman, Abike Dabiri-Erewa
Eko Hot Blog reports that the Chairman/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, (NiDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has urged Nigerians travelling abroad to go legitimately, and with proper documentation to avoid unpleasant consequences.
According to a statement issued by NiDCOM spokesperson, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, on Thursday, Dabiri-Erewa gave the warning when she visited some Nigerians in one of the shelters in Brampton, Canada.
Some Nigerians who traveled to Canada have been subjected to living in shelters due to improper documentation.
Reacting to the situation, the NiDCOM boss sympathised with their conditions and urged others planning to travel without proper documentation and seek asylum to desist as the situation is getting tougher in many countries.
According to Dabiri-Erewa, “it is just not worth it, more often than not.”
Meanwhile, Pastor Vivian Eruka, who runs the Bethel food bank and works with those in shelters, disclosed that the Mayor of Brampton promised to make 800 more beds available.
Mr Wale Rabiu, owner of Matlock bakery, donated hundreds loaves of Agege bread to the shelter inmates, while Mr Bayo Adedosu, a Nigerian living in Canada, and an immigration consultant also gave some words of counseling.
Adedosu added that they should not talk ill about their home country, Nigeria, to avoid future repercussions.
He equally urged them to be patient and law abiding.
“Migration is a human right issue but must be done legitimately and not irregularly,” the statement added.
