JIFORM’s past summits on migration
Ajibola emphasised that the event is part of an ongoing capacity-building initiative for JIFORM members and journalists worldwide.
Concerned about the issues of irregular migration and human trafficking, JIFORM was established in 2019 by journalists dedicated to covering migration across continents.
The body is a non-profit organisation comprising over 300 journalists and volunteers globally, headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria.
The network facilitated the inaugural African Migration Summit in partnership with the Nekotech Centre of Excellence in Accra, Ghana, in 2021, the West African Media Migration Summit in Togo in 2021, National Migration Summit and an Intercontinental Migration Summit with the Medgar Evers College, City University, Brooklyn, New York, from November 2-4, 2022.
Additionally, JIFORM has held its annual international migration summit, known as the JIFORM Global Migration Summit, with the 3rd and 4th editions in Canada in 2022 and 2023, respectively.
