More Nigerians set to leave Switzerland

Nigeria has recorded a high number of voluntary repartees from Switzerland following the migration partnership agreement between both countries.

NAN reports that under the partnership signed in 2011, voluntary repartees are given return assistance to the tune of 7,000 Swiss Franc, an equivalent of 8,000 U.S. dollars. The envoy said that the money, which is given upon arrival by the Swiss Embassy, was meant for “rehabilitation, or soft landing purpose,” in order to aid their integration into the society.

She also said that such categories of returnees were transported home in regular flights and with due courtesy.
Njeze said more than 70 percent of illegal immigrants have accepted “on their own” to return to Nigeria in line with incentives provided within the framework of the migration partnership.
