The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) has announced the successful evacuation of over 950 Nigerians from Libya in the first quarter of 2025.
According to NIDCOM Chairman, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the evacuees, including 683 females, 132 males, 87 children, and 54 infants, were brought back home in six separate trips between January and March. The evacuation was facilitated by the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) and the National Commission for Refugees.
Dabiri-Erewa reiterated the commission’s warning against dangerous migration routes, particularly through Libya, urging Nigerians to pursue legal means of migration and avoid perilous paths to Europe.
