Federal Government Repatriates 190 Nigerians from United Arab Emirates

 The Federal Government of Nigeria has successfully repatriated 190 Nigerian citizens from the United Arab Emirates. The returnees arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, where they were received by a combined team of Federal Government officials from various agencies.

The agencies represented included the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Ministry of Health, Nigeria Immigration Service, National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), Refugee Commission, and the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).

The returnees were profiled and documented by the relevant agencies and received sensitization on behaving with decorum and responsibility upon their return to Nigeria. The federal government urges all Nigerians, wherever they may be, to serve as exemplary ambassadors of their country, upholding the fundamental values of patriotism, rule of law, decency, and integrity.

This repatriation exercise demonstrates the Federal Government's commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of Nigerian citizens abroad. We will continue to work tirelessly to protect and promote the interests of Nigerians both at home and abroad.
