…says it not worth it

ABIKE Dabiri-Erewa, chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NiDCOM, has urged Nigerians travelling abroad to go legitimately, and with proper documentation to avoid unpleasant consequences.

Dabiri-Erewa stated this  when she visited some Nigerians in one of the shelters in Brampton, Canada.

The NIDCOM chairman sympathised with their condition and urged others planning to travel without proper documentation, arrive the country to seek asylum, to desist, as the situation is getting tougher in many countries, adding that “ it is just not worth it, more often than not”.

Pastor Vivian Eruka , who runs the Bethel food bank and works with those in Shelters, informed that the Mayor of Brampton promised to make 800 more beds available and shelter.

Wale Rabiu , owner of Matlock bakery donated hundreds loaves of Agege bread to the shelter inmates, while Bayo Adedosu, a Nigerian living in Canada, and an immigration consultant also gave some words of

counseling, adding that they should not talk ill about their home country, Nigeria, to avoid future repercussions.

Adedosu equally urged them to be patient and law-abiding. Migration is a human rights issue but must be done legitimately and not irregularly.
