Nigeria: NOA Decries High Rate of Irregular Migration. The National Orientation Agency (NOA) has decried the high rate of irregular migration by youths in the country, describing it as worrisome. Mr Mike Omeri, the Director General of the agency, expressed the worry in Abuja at the presentation of a book, entitled Chasing a Mirage, written by Mr Osita Oseme. Omeri said that illegal migration was one of the biggest challenges facing the country, adding that people were used for prostitution and other dirty jobs in the process. The D-G said that waomen and children were daily trafficked across borders without recourse to the sanctity of life, stressing that the situation must be addressed. He said that most victims were either transported to Gabon and Equatorial Guinea, mainly for farming and other difficult labour. allafrica/stories/201208300427.html
