created, they lack the appropriate human resources and operational capacity to collect, analyse and publish policy-relevant data and information. Much relevant data on migration and development are scattered between various countries and different actors within countries, making it difficult for policymakers to identify the data most relevant for policy development. The knowledge base for migration needs to be improved. Although a great deal of information for the development of the draft policy has been gathered through consultations, the evidence presented in these consultations is often inadequate and could be improved through enhanced sharing of information and data collection methods. Ways of rectifying the inadequacies Improvement in migration management calls for the development and input of the socio-economic indicators that are relevant to migration issues in individual ministries and agencies. The former would include further promotion of the positive aspects of migration and improvements in the education system to ensure an adequate supply of the required skills for development, among others. The anticipated promotion of remittances from the diaspora should be a two-way interactive system: as the Government offers a safe and secure environment at home and shows more concern for its citizens abroad, the diaspora are likely to get more involved in the development of the country. Furthermore, better management should embrace further regulation of irregular migration and the protection of vulnerable groups. The former should consider better ways of integrating repatriated trafficked persons in the country. The protection of vulnerable groups should also cover that of internally displaced persons, which constitutes the major group in the country. Past incidences of internally displaced persons have been on a relatively large scale and sporadic, and there are indications of imminent and more frequent occurrences; hence, adequate provisions should be made way ahead of emergency situations. In addition, the full implementation of the policy would require using census data and data on arrivals and departures, in particular the expected migration data from the 2006 Population Census, in the planning and execution of migration plans. Furthermore, the yet-to-be ratified agreements, laws and protocols should be dealt with. Given that they pertain to Nigeria, the United Nations International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of all Migrant 86 <strong>Migration</strong> in Nigeria: A Country <strong>Profile</strong> 2009
Workers and Members of their Families, a more coordinated implementation of the ECOWAS Protocol relating to Free Movement of Persons, Residence and Establishment, ECOWAS anti-trafficking efforts and the joint effort of ECOWAS and the Economic Community of Central African States would be among the different measures that can be used to rectify the inadequacies of the migration situation and migration policy in the country. <strong>Migration</strong> in Nigeria: A Country <strong>Profile</strong> 2009 87
