An agreement based on the number of Africans that each European country needs for its labour market could help resolve the problem of illegal migration and human trafficking, Bazoum told Italian newspaper La Repubblica.“In France, Spain and Italy you have many jobs in sectors of employment where Africans can work,” Bazoum said.
Bazoum spoke on a trip to Italy where he met Italian President Sergio Mattarella and attended a conference in Rome with other African heads of state. Niger is both a source country and a transit point for migrants who continue to trek to north Africa and travel across the Mediterranean to Europe’s southern coastline.While numbers have subsided, thousands embark on treacherous journeys to European countries each year in hope of finding safer lives and better economic opportunities.

Start treating Africans as human beings who deserve respect and development to create employment. Stop your lavish lifestyles as African leaders. Let Europe cater for their own and Africa likewise...We have resources here..both human & capital..Stop corruption & deliver services
