The National Emergency Management Agency, Kano Operations Office, has received 148 Nigerian migrant returnees from Sudan as part of ongoing efforts to facilitate the safe return of Nigerians abroad.
According to a statement released on Saturday by NEMA, the returnees arrived at Malam Aminu Kano International Airport aboard a chartered flight operated by Tarco Aviation at approximately 14:30 hours on Friday.
They included 25 men, 27 women, 39 male children, and 57 female children.
The statement by NEMA explained that upon arrival, “the returnees were transported to the Chila Hotel for profiling and documentation by relevant stakeholders.”
The statement added that the returnees were not enrolled in any reintegration programme.
The return of these migrants comes amid ongoing conflict in Sudan, which has displaced millions and strained the country’s infrastructure.
The Federal Government, in collaboration with NEMA and international partners, continues to monitor the situation and provide assistance to citizens affected by the crisis in Sudan.
Furthermore, NEMA has been collaborating with international organizations to address the challenges faced by Nigerian migrants abroad.
The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons has been instrumental in rescuing Nigerian girls from traffickers’ camps in Libya.
