Our CEO Oluwaseyi Olawuyi Prince who also serves as a Director of Consultancy at the Youth in Agroecology and Restoration Network (YARN), has made us proud once again at this year's AVA Summit in Ghana.

Building on the momentum of his presentation at last year's AVA Summit in Kenya, he delivered another thought-provoking presentation this year on "Industrial Animal Farming in Nigeria: Implications for Climate Change and Animal Welfare."

As a climate advocate, researcher, and social justice champion, his presentation reflects both his leadership at YARN and his longstanding commitment to advancing sustainable and ethical food systems. He highlighted how the rapid expansion of industrial animal farming in Nigeria poses significant environmental, climate, public health, and animal welfare challenges. His call for more sustainable and responsible livestock production contributes to the growing global conversation on climate action, biodiversity conservation, and food system transformation.

As the AVA Summit continues in Ghana, all of us at Initiatives for Safe Migration and Social Justice wish all participants productive discussions, meaningful collaboration, and a successful summit. Together, we can build a more sustainable, just, and resilient future.

It was another insightful and enriching week as our CEO - Oluwaseyi Olawuyi Prince participated in the South-West Capacity-Building Workshop for Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), staff of the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, and other key stakeholders. The workshop was organised by the International Labour Organization (ILO), GIZ, and the Migrant Resource Centre (MRC).

During the workshop, participants who now form part of Migration Advisory Network received intensive training on a wide range of topics, including regular migration pathways to Germany, the roles and responsibilities of Migration Advisors, effective counselling techniques, ethical communication, and best practices in supporting prospective and returning migrants.

The workshop also provided an excellent platform for knowledge sharing and collaboration. Our CEO took the opportunity to showcase the work of the I4SAFE Migration Hub in Osogbo, Osun State, highlighting our ongoing efforts in promoting safe migration, combating human trafficking and irregular migration, strengthening community awareness, and providing migration information, counselling, and capacity-building services.

We sincerely appreciate the International Labour Organization (ILO), GIZ, and the Migrant Resource Centre (MRC) for the invitation and for their continued commitment to strengthening migration governance and building the capacity of stakeholders across Nigeria. We look forward to deepening our collaboration in promoting safe, regular, and well-informed migration.

Xenophobia and the Fate of Returnees: Nigeria and Affected Nigerians in My Thoughts

The recent wave of xenophobic attacks against other Africans living in South Africa is deeply disturbing. Such violence undermines the spirit of African unity and solidarity and has serious consequences not only for the victims but also for their countries of origin.

Thousands of Nigerians have been affected by these attacks. For many of them, returning home may not be the end of their hardship but the beginning of another difficult journey. Reintegrating into today's Nigeria, where unemployment remains high and many communities face inadequate infrastructure and limited social services, may prove extremely challenging. Some returnees may have to start their lives all over again after losing their businesses, jobs, savings, and personal belongings in South Africa.

It is encouraging to see government agencies, civil society organizations, and compassionate individuals stepping forward to support the affected returnees through financial assistance and other forms of humanitarian support. These efforts will help cushion the immediate impact of their return, but long-term reintegration requires much more than emergency relief.

Many South Africans who support the attacks often claim that foreign nationals are taking their jobs, engaging in criminal activities, and competing for limited economic opportunities. While every country has the right to address crime and regulate migration, collective punishment and violence against innocent migrants can never be justified. Criminal acts should be addressed through the rule of law, not through xenophobic attacks targeting entire nationalities.

As an organization Initiatives for Safe Migration and Social Justice committed to promoting safe migration and supporting the sustainable reintegration of returnees, I believe the Nigerian government should establish a comprehensive national database of all affected returnees. Such a database would help identify their skills, educational backgrounds, employment histories, and immediate needs, making it easier to provide targeted assistance.

Beyond creating a database, the government should work with development partners, the private sector, and civil society organizations to provide psychosocial support, vocational training, entrepreneurship grants, job placement opportunities, and access to financial services. These measures would reduce the risk of poverty, social exclusion, irregular migration, and criminality while enabling returnees to rebuild their lives and contribute positively to national development.

Xenophobia has no place in Africa. The continent's future depends on cooperation, mutual respect, and the protection of the dignity and rights of every African, regardless of where they choose to live or work.

Our Position on the Creation of State Police
Initiatives for Safe Migration and Social Justice

We commend the Nigerian Senate for advancing efforts toward the establishment of state police as part of ongoing reforms to strengthen Nigeria's security architecture.

For over a decade, Nigeria has faced a serious security crisis, with banditry, terrorism, kidnapping, and other violent crimes affecting many parts of the country. It is increasingly evident that the current security structure is under immense pressure and requires complementary measures to effectively address these challenges.

Nigeria has a shortage of security personnel, while many rural and forested areas remain inadequately policed. If the proposed state police system is successfully established with the necessary legal safeguards, it could strengthen security by increasing the number of law enforcement personnel, improving intelligence gathering, enhancing rapid response to security threats, and enabling state governors to play a more effective role as Chief Security Officers of their states.

However, the law should provide for adequate and sustainable funding, professional training, strict accountability mechanisms, respect for human rights, and independent oversight. It must also ensure that state police are not used as political tools to intimidate or harass opponents. Recruitment should be transparent, merit-based, and inclusive to guarantee professionalism and public trust.

Finally, our organization welcomes this development and hopes that all stakeholders will work together to build a safer and more secure Nigeria. We pray that God continues to bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Yours sincerely
Oluwaseyi Olawuyi Prince
The CEO

As an organization committed to promoting social justice, defending human rights, and advancing safe migration, we recognize the importance of fully understanding civic space, regulatory compliance, cyber security, data protection, and other emerging issues affecting civil society organizations.

We are delighted that our Founder and CEO, Oluwaseyi Olawuyi Prince , was selected to participate in the recently concluded Cohort IV Capacity Development Programme organized by the West Africa Civil Society Institute (WACSI) for selected NGOs in Nigeria.

This was far more than a gathering of NGO leaders; it was an insightful, educative, and transformative masterclass that provided practical knowledge and strategic tools for strengthening organizational effectiveness, accountability, sustainability, and compliance.

We sincerely appreciate WACSI for this laudable initiative and its continued commitment to building the capacity of civil society organizations across West Africa. The training came at a crucial time for Initiatives for Safe Migration and Social Justice as we prepare for our forthcoming Biennial General Assembly and the next phase of our organizational growth.

We are confident that the knowledge and experience gained from this programme will further strengthen our institution and enhance our impact in promoting social justice and protecting vulnerable populations.

Congratulations to our Founder and CEO on this remarkable achievement. We celebrate your dedication to continuous learning, excellence, and visionary leadership.
