This
was disclosed by the president of the association, Mr Iriakanu Samson Hodge.
The Italian
government just passed a bill to regulate close to 600,000 undocumented
immigrants in the country to participate in this year harvesting season across
the country.
In
the words of Mr Samson Hodge, he said, "Thanks to the magnanimity of the
Nigeria Ambassador to Italy His Excellency, Ambassador Yusuf Jonga Hinna
who has agreed to work with NUNAI to simplify the process of obtaining
certificates of Nationality (CofN) for as many Nigerians who do not have a
Nigerian passport.
"And
as you know, without a passport or a certificate of Nationality, it will be
impossible to apply for the regularisation, hence the Embassy, with a view to
help the concerned Nigerians has co-opted NUNAI to collate the names and
necessary documents of concerned Nigerians through their local and provincial
associations.
In
so doing, this will save a lot of Nigerians, especially those living in far
places the stress and pains of travelling to Rome to obtain the document."
He
went further to appeal to local and provincial heads to kindly cooperate with
NUNAI leadership to make a success of the opportunity. Mr Samson Hodge said
registration forms issued by the embassy have been sent to the provincial and
regional associations through NUNAI to be collected, filled and collated before
they are sent to Rome with the relevant documents for the issuance of the
certificate of Nationality.
"All
concerned Nigerians are to liaise with their local associations for further
information." He concluded.
