The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has received 203 vulnerable Nigerians who were stranded in Libya. The returnees arrived at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos on a chartered Al Buraq Boeing aircraft.
The group, consisting of 50 males, 96 females, 29 children, and 28 infants, was repatriated under the International Organisation for Migration’s voluntary repatriation programme. Two of the returnees required urgent medical attention and were immediately taken to New Ikeja Hospital.
After profiling and biometric registration, the returnees were relocated to the Igando IDP Resettlement Centre for reintegration programs. This repatriation is part of efforts to assist Nigerians facing difficult conditions in Libya.
