Nigeria, Qatar to Set Up Training, Visa Centres for Nigerian Workers.
A statement signed by the Head of Press and Public Relations Ann Daniel said the agreement was reached during a bilateral meeting between Nigeria’s Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr.
Muhammad Maigari Dingyadi, and his Qatari counterpart on the sidelines of the 358th Session of the Governing Body of the International Labour Organization (ILO) in Geneva, Switzerland.
Under the proposed arrangement, the training centre will prepare Nigerians seeking employment opportunities abroad by equipping them with relevant skills and knowledge required to access overseas jobs.
The establishment of the centre may contribute to better preparation of prospective migrant workers and support efforts to ensure that Nigerians seeking employment outside the country are adequately equipped before embarking on the journey. Similarly, both countries agreed to establish a Qatar Visa Centre in Nigeria to facilitate visa processing for Nigerians travelling to Qatar for employment and other purposes. The proposed visa centre is also expected to make the visa application process more accessible and support the promotion of safe, orderly and regular labour migration between the two countries. Dingyadi said the agreement reflects the commitment of Nigeria and Qatar to strengthening cooperation in labour and employment matters, particularly in addressing the challenges associated with international labour migration.
