The House of Representatives on Thursday rejected a motion to address the migration of Nigerians to other countries.
Philip Agbese, a member of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and a lawmaker representing Ado/Okpokwu/Ogbadibo federal constituency of Benue state, sponsored the motion.
The motion is titled: “Need to Declare Emigration of Young Nigerians Abroad AKA Japa Syndrome a National Emergency”.
Agbese said reports by African Polling Institute stated that 69 per cent of young Nigerians would relocate abroad if they have the opportunity.
