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 boys, and 57 girls.
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 returnees were not enrolled in any reintegration programme and were discharged and given transport fare by providing them with an ATM card for withdrawals shortly after the completion of documentation and profiling,” NEMA said.
