The Honourable Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has been appointed as the new Chairman of the RABAT PROCESS, a Euro-Africa Dialogue on Migration and Development. The appointment was announced at an official event in Porto, Portugal, marking a significant achievement for Nigeria.
Prof. Yilwatda takes over from Mr. Rui Armindo Freitas, the Deputy Minister for the Presidency of Portugal, who previously led the RABAT PROCESS. The leadership transition was a key highlight of the event, symbolizing ongoing collaboration between Europe and Africa in addressing migration and development challenges.
The RABAT PROCESS serves as a crucial platform for dialogue and partnership between European and African nations. Under the new leadership of Prof. Yilwatda, expectations are high for continued cooperation on migration policies and development initiatives across both continents.
The Honourable Minister’s new role further signifies Nigeria’s influence in global humanitarian and developmental efforts, as he is set to guide the organization toward creating sustainable solutions to migration issues.
