The Federal Government says plans are underway to repatriate 15,000 Nigerians stranded in countries like Cameroon, Niger, Chad, and others.
Federal Commissioner of the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons, Alhaji Tijani Ahmed, revealed this at a media briefing in Abuja.
He stated that over six million Nigerians are internally displaced, while about 100,000 foreigners live in Nigeria as refugees.
Ahmed thanked President Bola Tinubu for his support and announced that Nigeria will host the Rabat Process meeting in Abuja from May 13 to 14.
He also emphasized the need for public awareness on legal migration to curb the dangers of irregular migration.
