And in the last few years, well over 15,000 stranded Nigerians have been evacuated back home by the federal government and the International Organisation for Migration, the statement added.

Dabiri-Erewa reiterated the Commission’s persistent advice to Nigerians to avoid dangerous and deadly migration routes such as Libya, a war-torn country dealing with many struggles.

“Because of the delicate political situation in Libya, we countlessly caution Nigerians to avoid Libya as a pathway to Europe; not just Libya but other irregular routes,” Dabiri-Erewa was further routes as saying.

She urged Nigerians to follow the legal and regular means of migration, noting that some rescued Nigerians from Libya still returned to Libya or more dangerous routes to get into Europe.

Dabiri-Erewa stressed that the Federal Government will continually uphold the interest, dignity and fundamental human rights of Nigerians at home and in the diaspora, irrespective of their socio-economic, ethno-cultural or religious backgrounds, and called for collaboration with government agencies, NGOs, the media and other relevant stakeholders to join hands in raising awareness on the dangers of irregular migration.
