Senator Ned Nwoko is calling for stricter travel oversight from the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) and Nigerian embassies to curb desperate Nigerians from taking risky journeys abroad. He’s concerned that these journeys often end in tragedy, damaging Nigeria’s reputation. Nwoko suggests verifying travel purposes, job offers, and host organizations to ensure legitimate migration. He also recommends monitoring Nigerians abroad and strengthening relationships between embassies and citizens. This move aims to protect Nigerians and uphold the country’s sovereignty.
