177 Nigerians Return from Libya, Receive Humanitarian Aid

On Monday, 177 Nigerians returned from Libya as part of a voluntary return program facilitated by the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) in collaboration with the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons (NCFRMI) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The returnees arrived at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos at 7:35 PM aboard an Air Buraq Airlines flight.

The group comprised 151 adults, including 66 males and 85 females, along with 14 children (eight boys and six girls) and 12 infants (five males and seven females). Upon arrival, NEMA officials conducted biometric registration and documentation for the returnees.

They received immediate humanitarian assistance, including food, potable water, and medical screening, with ambulatory services provided for those requiring medical attention. The exercise was coordinated with various agencies, including the Nigeria Immigration Service, to ensure a smooth reintegration process for the returnees.
