A total of 11,040 Nigerians sought asylum in Ireland over a 13-year period, according to reported figures.
The development highlights the growing number of Nigerians seeking international protection and alternative opportunities outside the country.
The trend comes amid increased migration of Nigerians to Europe and other parts of the world, with economic pressures, security concerns and the search for better opportunities among factors often cited by migrants.
The figures have also renewed attention on Nigeria’s growing migration and asylum-seeking population, particularly as more young Nigerians explore opportunities abroad.
The increasing number of asylum applications comes alongside concerns over the impact of skilled migration and the continued departure of young Nigerians seeking better living and working conditions overseas.
