Nigeria, France negotiate a new immigration pact – Envoy
Headlines Tuesday, April 26th, 2011Nigeria and France have begun a process of improved partnership on immigration to ensure balance in the exchange for Nigerian professionals working in that country.
Nigeria’s envoy to France, Ambassador Gordon Bristolm, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Paris that the development was in line with the EU-Africa immigration cooperation pact on unified migration policy.
According to him, it is necessary for France and the EU to contribute to the nation’s education sector, as well as infrastructure development in exchange for its skilled manpower being utilised in Europe .
“A situation where our professionals are taken away from us by developed nations including the EU with nothing given in return is not a fair proposition.
“When the negotiation starts, we have to ensure that whatever agreement we reach takes into account our own national interests.
