According to Michel Arrion, Head of the European Union Delegation to Nigeria and ECOWAS, Nigeria is an important country of origin of regular and irregular migration to the EU and its member-states. However many Nigerians risk their lives and perish in the Mediterranean. The EU official explained that there were almost 9,000 Nigerian illegal migrants in Europe in 2014. “In 2014, Nigerians accounted for an estimated 8,700 out of the 283,532 irregular migrants entering EU borders, many of whom risked their lives crossing the Mediterranean. “However, majority of Nigerians enter and reside in EU legally and millions of Diaspora Nigerians are residing in the EU.

“As a regional economic power, Nigeria is also on the receiving end of migration, attracting an estimated three million labour workers from neighboring countries. “In the first half of 2015, Nigerian citizens ranked ninth of all persons granted international protection in EU’s 28 member states.

“Nigerian nationals are the most numerous among non-European victims of trafficking in human beings and they are also the most numerous among traffickers,” he said.
