The centre was opened as a result of our humanitarian urge and in response to the growing number of displaced persons who flee their countries as a result of wars and illegal immigrants and other people who are deported from various countries regularly.
As you are aware deportees and refugees are products of poor economic development and constant wars in developing countries. The influx of such people into different countries has no doubt become a problem to our country as well as to other nations.
The centre for Counselling of Deportees and Refugees (CCDR), Lagos, Nigeria, is a non-profit, non-governmental, non-religious, organization, which came into being by virtue of Registration No. CAC/IT/N022143 dated 28th October 2006. The organization has since been working with local and international agencies and individuals.
OVERALL GOAL
Our overall goal is to counsel, advice and to some extent resettle and reintegrate the deportee through contributing to the empowerment of the deportee based on the principle of social justice and respect for human rights.
