In the response letter, “Re: Request for clarification on the Applicablibilty of the Nigerian Certified Immigration Agent (NCIA)Accreditation Scheme to Legal Practioners”, made available to hantonews.com, the association described itself as a voluntary professional association of lawyers, law teachers and policy advocates, practicing, teaching and researching in the field of immigration law in Nigeria.
NILA revealed that her mission includes the promotion and enhancement of fair and reasonable immigration law and policy in Nigeria while its members regularly advise and represent corporates, Nigeria citizens,lawful permanent residents,expatriates,refugees and asylum seekers in matters relating to the application and interpretation of Nigerian immigration law and policies.
NILA equally used the opportunity to appreciate the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) for an opportunity to make comments on the nascent NCIA accreditation scheme and believes that the collective effort expertise and experience makes NILA particularly well-qualified to offer views that will benefit the public and the government.
