 A lot of sensitization and advocacy would impact positively and help to reduce all forms of criminalities involved with irregular migration. This was the view of the Federal Commissioner, National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons, Iman Suleiman Ibrahim. He was addressing the United Nations country team and other development partners in the migration sector in Lagos earlier today, plus TV News correspondent Loviko Koedoko now reports. Seated here in this hall are representatives of the United Nations country team and other development partners in the migration industry. The forum is a preparatory and a voluntary review of the Global Compact for Migration to prepare for the regional reviews and international migration review forum which would hold in May 2022 in New York. Honourable Suleiman Ibrahim is optimistic that with the right policies in place, the society will be better for read with regard to issues of irregular migration. Regular migration is detrimental not just to the government but to the whole society because we end up with victims, we end up with a lot of irregularities, we end up with drain of finances, we end up with all elements of abuse but when we do it the right way it benefits whole of society as well. So that's what we're working towards collectively with our partners every stakeholder to ensure that migration is done regularly and for the benefit of all. Global Compact is actually a document that was developed through a whole government, whole community approach ensuring participation of the member states for various countries, ensuring participation of CSOs and all the different actors who need to work within the migration space. Honourable Suleiman to see as the minister had mentioned that we have safe ways in which people can be able to migrate because migration in itself is something that people do because of their aspirations and they do so because they are interested in travelling from one place to the other but the issue is for them to do it safely, for them to do it in a dignified way in a humane manner where their rights are also not infringed. Participants have the event called for society to support to meet up with challenges of irregular migration. In terms of irregular migrants it comes in through our society so we need societal support to meet up with this challenge. Create awareness and let the host community know that these persons have blight and we should not discriminate on them and we should do all that we can to protect their rights and yet again like we train for example the security agencies of the need of mainstreaming human rights in everything they do. Everybody has a role to play when it comes to regular migration and we should keep informed, we should be aware, we should be alert and we should ensure that we support migration management and also development in the federal public of Nigeria. Recall that the process of the global compact for migration G.C.M. began in 2016 during the United Nations General Assembly to address a large movement of migrants and refugees. The General Assembly adopted the New York's declaration for refugees and migrants with sole member states commits to developing a global compact for safe, ugly and regular migration.
