Description
This book presents the findings from a study which critically looked at the migration trend, peculiarities and activities of security officials across seven international land borders in the region – Nigeria, Benin, Togo and Ghana on the one hand and then explored the corridors between landlocked Mali and Burkina Faso with Cote d’ Ivoire. It also discusses in detail policy and action recommendations for relevant regional bodies and stakeholders.
