Nigeria and the European Union have renewed efforts to conclude a long-pending readmission agreement, according to Punch Nigeria. The proposed EU-Nigeria Readmission Agreement was initiated in 2016 but has not yet been finalised. The renewed discussions are intended to advance cooperation on migration between Nigeria and the European Union.

The supplied report describes the agreement as part of broader migration cooperation. It does not specify which officials or institutions are leading the latest efforts, nor does it provide details of the remaining points under discussion. No timetable for concluding or signing the agreement was included in the available material.

The report also does not outline the procedures that would be covered by the proposed arrangement. Punch Nigeria said the two sides were moving to finalise the long-delayed deal, but provided no further information on the outcome of the renewed engagement.
