International Migrant Day: CCIDESOR Urges Govt to Mitigate Unnecessary Acts of Migration with Good Governance

International Migrant Day: CCIDESOR Urges Govt to Mitigate Unnecessary Acts of Migration with Good Governance

by CCIDESOR / Tuesday, 18 December 2018 / Published in News

As the International Migrant Day is being celebrated on the 18th December every year, the Citizens Center for Integrated Development and Social Rights (CCIDESOR) has called on the government of Nigeria, especially Imo State government to ensure that the spate of unnecessary migration is mitigated.

Speaking to Newsmen in Owerri, capital of Imo State, the Executive Director of Citizens Center for Integrated Development and Social Rights (CCIDESOR), Obidi Mgbemena posited that migration is an acceptable practice around the world but regretted that Nigeria situation has taken a worrisome dimension as young people are forced to migrate to other countries on account of harsh economic realities which is occasioned by bad governance.

Mgbemena called on government at all levels to stem the tide of this needless migration in search of better life by promoting inclusiveness, accountability, open budget, transparency and fundamental human rights anchored on sound democratic principles, rule of law among others to entrench good governance. He urged the governments to provide jobs for the teeming youths, security of live and property, stem the incidence of insurgency, restiveness and ensure that fundamental rights of citizens are protected, while enhancing conducive environment for businesses to strive.

In a release signed by the Mobilization/Communication Officer of CCIDESOR, Chigozie Uzosike and made available to newsmen, the Executive Director noted that Migration according to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, is a powerful driver of economic growth, dynamism and understanding. It allows millions of people to seek new opportunities, benefiting communities of origin and destination alike.”

International Migrants Day is observed on 18 December in accordance with Resolution 55/93 of the United Nations General Assembly, adopted on 4 December 2000.

International Migrants Day is seen firstly as an opportunity to recognize the contributions made by millions of migrants to the economies of their host and home countries, and secondly to promote respect for their basic human rights.

Migration draws increasing attention in the world nowadays. Mixed with elements of unforeseenbility, emergency, and complexity, the challenges and difficulties of international migration require enhanced cooperation and collective action among countries and regions. Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) should play catalyst role in this area, with the aim of creating more dialogues and interactions within countries and regions, as well as raising their voices against violation of human rights.
