Access to Sport and other entertainments

As a refugee, can I earn a living by becoming a footballer, musician, or any other artist in Nigeria.

Yes. UNHCR supports sports and music to promote protection and build peaceful coexistence between refugee and host communities. Artisanal skills are promoted, and UNHCR, through its partners, facilitates linkages to the relevant actors in these industries. Refugees can approach UNHCR, NCFRMI, or its partners in Abuja and at field offices for more information.
