The Alumni Association are professionals who are beneficiaries of the Chevening Scholarship Programme for Post-Graduate Studies in various disciplines in the United Kingdom (UK). CAAN is therefore pleased to publish details of the competition as follows:

TOPIC: Alternative Narratives to illegal Migration Amongst Young People in Nigeria

The essay seeks to stimulate thoughts on illegal migration, especially amongst young people, towards preventing the occurrence, and for providing options to breaches of immigration regulations.

The options should not only help stop the risks that it exposes perpetrators to, but should offer alternative ideas on earning a living, aside from the belief that the option can only be elsewhere. It seeks to challenge the youths on creating and harnessing opportunities in the local environment, and to envision migration from the legal path, if desired.

The focus of the essay is on emphasizing the risks of illegal migration by deepening knowledge on other possibilities.

Objective: The overarching objective of the competition is to;

  • Generate ideas that will be helpful for CAAN future engagement with the private sector, the Nigerian government and multilateral agencies on curbing illegal migration.
  • Foster deeper inter-generational learning through interactions between CAAN members and the younger generations.
  • Encourage young Nigerians to engage in the discussion of a core trans-national governance issue, ahead of future leadership roles.
