Abstract
The paper examined the strategies put in place by the governmental agencies for
the reintegration of returnees. Primary and secondary data were utilized for the
study. Preliminary data were collected through the administration of questionnaires
and interviews. The study population (10,369) comprised the National Emergency
Management Agency (NEMA, 34), National Agency against Trafficking in Persons
and other related crime (NAPTIP, 108), International Organisation for Migration
(IOM, 34), Nigeria in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM, 15) and Nigeria returnees
(10,180) from Libya. The sample for the study was made up of 399 respondents.
The distribution is as follows: NEMA (17), NAPTIP (54), IOM (16), NiDCOM (15),
and returnees (297). Secondary data will be obtained from decision extracts of the
agencies on matters relating to the subject matter, conciliation meetings, and
internet sources. Data collected were analyzed using frequency, distribution,
percentage, and Chi-square. The study showed the effect of strategies put in place
by governmental agencies, which have enhanced the economic development of the
returnees; reduced irregular or illegal migration to Europe through the Libya route;
returnees’ psychological rehabilitation of returnees in Nigeria. Furthermore, the Chisquare
analysis showed that the x2
cal (9.2) is greater than x2
tab (5.99); hence, the
rejection of the null hypothesis and it founds a significant relationship between
government agencies and the returnees’ reintegration. The study concluded that
governmental agencies' strategies have an effect on the reintegration of the
returnees.
