| dc.description.abstract | It is now believed that migrants’ remittances into Nigeria exceed Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) and Oversea Development Assistance (ODA). The importance of remittance inflows into Nigeria is evidenced by the proliferation of money transfer networks both formal and informal, and the rapid growth in volume of migrant remittances. The objective of the study is to analyze the impact of international remittances flow on national development in West Africa using Nigeria, Ghana and Ivory Coast as empirical case studies, towards providing research-evidence supportive of policy-relevant outcomes. Money transfer facilities are examined. | en |
