Switzerland and Nigeria have had a successful migration partnership framework for more than 5 years. It includes return migration management as part of the framework. 

In 2011, Switzerland and Nigeria concluded a migration partnership, which is a centrepiece of their relations. Together the two States have undertaken to promote the positive aspects of migration and to fight its negative sides.

For its part, Nigeria has accepted a readmission agreement, in which it agrees to take back Nigerian nationals who have entered Switzerland illegally. Technical cooperation between a wide range of authorities is expected to simplify this process.
In reciprocation, Switzerland supports returning Nigerians with return aid and vocational education and training projects. Through information campaigns Switzerland seeks to raise awareness among local Nigerians and to persuade them to remain in their country and not to travel illegally to Switzerland.
