Speakers at a forum at the maiden edition of International Migration Recruitment and Advisory Policy Centre (IMPRAC), have emphasised the need for governments within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to address cross-border challenges affecting migrants.
They said although the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic had impacted significantly on human mobility, the living conditions of migrants in West African countries must be prioritised ahead of the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
