Our vision is to grow into a Centre of Excellence in Migration Studies by collaborative research and networking with the community of researchers, scholars, institutions, agencies and organizations involved in migration studies, management and governance across the world.

Our mission is to serve as a leading international Centre for the study of local and international migration dynamics with primary focus on Nigeria and Africa through a strategic, collaborative and integrated approach.
