The organisation says thousands of Nigerian migrants are trapped in horrible conditions in Libya
The UN-International Organisation on Migration says it has been involved in the evacuation of over 12,700 irregular migrants from certain countries back to Nigeria in the last two years.
Mr Galindo said that they had since begun to implement a host of different projects in Abuja and Lagos as well as addressing humanitarian issues in North East Nigeria. “We assist migrants returning from Libya, Mali and other countries by providing them with assistance, protection and channel them through appropriate integration programmes.
Mr Galindo said that the organisation also had the responsibility of alerting potential migrants in the country on what lay ahead if they chose irregular routes.
