Speaking with journalists in Lagos, Imaan stated that the bulk of her work was not just humanitarian, but developmental.

She said, “We deal with settlement, rehabilitation, integration and reintegration. That’s the core part of our mandate

“Also, the commission is the lead agency that coordinates migration issues in the country, and Nigeria as a country has multifaceted migration dimensions; from irregular migration to forced migration and economic migration.”
