The Chairman/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has urged Nigerians travelling abroad to do so legitimately, saying there is the need for them to travel 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’s Director, Media, Public Relations and Protocols Unit, Abdur-Rahman Balogun also quoted Dabiri-Erewa as sympathising with the Nigerians over their conditions at the shelters in Canada.
The NIDCOM boss also urged others planning to travel to Canada without proper documentation, arrive the country to seek asylum to desist, saying that the situation is getting tougher in many countries.
She then cautioned desperate Nigerians against traveling without proper documentation, saying 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 , also disclosed that the Mayor of Brampton has promised to make 800 more beds available and shelter.
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 also advised the Nigerians not talk ill about their home country, Nigeria, to avoid future repercussions and urged them to be patient and law abiding.
Migration is a human right issue but must be done legitimately and not irregularly.
