It is a critical driver of global and national development. In 2022 alone, Nigeria accounted for $21.9 billion in diaspora remittances, representing 64% of all remittances in West Africa. This is a testament to the invaluable economic contributions of Nigerian migrants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeyond financial remittances, our migrants have become global ambassadors, excelling in fields such as technology, medicine, sports, and the creative arts.

He however cautioned against the constant challenges of irregular migration, regretting that the nation returned about 10,000 of its citizens detained for sundry migration offences in 2024 alone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, we must acknowledge that irregular migration remains a persistent challenge.
