Poor coordination among government agencies is undermining labour migration governance in Nigeria and exposing migrant workers to exploitation, a new policy brief has revealed.
The policy brief on employers’ participation in labour migration governance in Nigeria, obtained by our correspondent on Thursday, identified weak collaboration among key agencies as one of the major factors hindering effective enforcement of labour migration regulations.
According to the report, significant implementation gaps persist at critical control points in the migration cycle despite existing policy frameworks assigning monitoring responsibilities to multiple actors.
The report noted that enforcement of Standard Operating Procedures for private employment agencies remains weak at international airports and other departure points, allowing unlicensed recruiters to continue operating with minimal consequences.
