IMAP Club Goes to School

22

November 2012

The illegal Migration Awareness project IMAP powered by PRAWA with support of  British High Commission has caught up with the youth in Nigeria. At Enugu,  South East Nigeria, the IMAP Youth Peer Educators have started planting IMAP clubs in Secondary Schools in the city state.

In less than two months of its inauguration, the crusade against illegal migration syndrome has been taken to over five thousand youths in higher and tertiary institutions in the area.

With the dangerous trends in the past in which millions of Nigerian young people at the peak of their productive energy leave the country in drones, with  irregular and fake travelling documents, the results as reported in many foreign media has been; many young people of Nigeria descent in many prisons of  many foriegn countries on immigration related offences.

IMAP is fast bridging this gap by spreading the message of: “BE AWARE BEFORE YOU TRAVEL” and catching them young with this message, it is hoped that this will change the prevailing behaviour of the youth.
