Germany Set To Deport Over 30,000 Nigerians

Germany has proposed a new process that will facilitate the
smooth repatriation of over 30,000 illegal Nigerian migrants
back to the country.
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama said this when
he received the Security Adviser to the President of Germany,
Dr Jan Hecker, and his team in Abuja.
The new proposal, according to Onyeama, is predicated on
perceived failures and slow pace of the current system of
repatriation.
This, he said, involved both the participation of Nigerian
embassies and consulate and the German immigration office.
“They don’t have enough faith and confidence in the process
that we have at the moment for the repatriation process.
”Some of the delays they believed are with the mission and
consulate in Germany.
”They want to propose a completely new process of
repatriation, known as Return and Re-admission,” he said.
Onyeama said that in the last two years only about 200
Nigerians had returned to the country out of about 30,000.
”Germans were not happy that the system we have in place at
the moment is certainly not working to their satisfaction,” he
said.
According to him, the new process essentially entailed that
once all legal processes had been exhausted, Nigeria should
trust them (Germany), to make right decision on who should be
repatriated.
He added that once the decision was taken, Germany would
bring the affected persons to Nigeria without the involvement of
Nigeria’s mission in Germany.
“They will bring them here to Nigeria and say we have gone
through a process in Germany; these people are your nationals,
they have exhausted all the legal processes, please take them.
”And it will be here on Nigeria territory that any possibility will
then exist to say maybe that one is not or this one is not,” he
said.
