Japa: Immigration lament the rate at which Nigerians are leaving the country
Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) has expressed concern over the alarming rate Nigerians are leaving the country in search of greener pastures abroad, describing it as a “worrisome phenomenon”.
The Comptroller of Immigration Service (NIS) in Enugu State, Mr. Joachim Olumba, said this on Thursday, November 4, at a sensitization campaign on the scourge of Smuggling of Migrants (SOM) for stakeholders in Enugu State.
According to PM News, he said: “Indeed, this program couldn’t have been held at a more appropriate time, considering the alarming rate at which, not only the youth, but older generation of Nigerians exhibit interest to leave the country.
This is creating a worrisome phenomenon which has come to be popularly known in local parlance as Japa.” He said that the appetite to jet out of the country was usually driven largely by social, economic and security concerns.
