Drivers and outcomes of international migration on infrastructural development of Edo State, Nigeria
(Journal of Infrastructure, Policy and Development 8(8), 2024) Braimah Ehiagwina Sunday; Gberevbie Daniel Eseme; Chidozie Felix C.; Osimen Goddy Uwa
The Bini people of Edo State, located in the Edo South senatorial district, have been the focus of a study investigating the impact of international migration on Nigerian infrastructure. The study employed a descriptive-qualitative approach, using a survey research methodology and structured questionnaires to gather data from 401 respondents. The study used regression and thematic analysis to examine the collected data, focusing on the connection between migration and the advancement of infrastructure. The findings suggest that low incomes, job insecurity, and the development of domestic infrastructure contribute to the momentum behind international migration movements. The study suggests that remittances from migrants and investments are needed to alleviate the situation, highlighting the need for a more inclusive and sustainable approach to addressing the challenges faced by the Bini people in Edo State.

(African Renaissance Vol. 21, No. 2, 2024-06) Braimah Ehiagwina Sunday; Gberevbie Daniel Eseme; Chidozie Felix C.
This paper focuses on the effects of international migration on the citizens of Edo State, Nigeria, using the Bini people as its primary focus. The study examined the effect of trans-mobility on the household welfare and living standards of Bini people. It looks at the benefits or otherwise of migration for the people left at home. The results of this study were obtained by using a qualitative research approach. The qualitative approach is based on focus group discussions in the seven local government areas where the Binis are the majority; and the descriptive examination of documents that contain crucial information about the study. It therefore applied secondary sources of data collection. These sources include academic journals, books, research papers, and reputable online resources. The findings show that there is a continuous improvement in the household welfare and living standards of remittance-receiving households. There is also a glaring improvement in asset acquisitions such as plots of land, motor vehicles and houses. The quality of food and clothing improved too. Considering the household welfare and living standard improvement that international remittances have, the study concluded that they have been of immense benefit to the Bini people of Edo State in particular and the people of Edo State in general.
