According to him, the German government proposed the new plan after the perceived failure of the current system to ensure smooth repatriation.
The report said the current process involves both the participation of Nigerian embassy and consulate as well as the German immigration office.
“They don’t have enough faith and confidence in the process that we have at the moment for the repatriation process.
“Some of the delays they believed were with the mission and consulate in Germany,” the minister said adding that in the last two years, only 200 Nigerians have returned to the country out of the about 30,000.
It was learnt that Jan Hecker said he was in Nigeria to for the purpose of bilateral relations especially as it concerns issues of migration.
