The Federal Government has successfully repatriated 190 stranded Nigerians from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
This was disclosed in a statement signed by Mr. Bashir Garga, the National Emergency Management Agency’s (NEMA) zonal director for the North Central, on Tuesday in Abuja.
The returnees arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, at 5:57 a.m. on Tuesday. They were received by a combined team of government officials led by NEMA.
According to Garga, the returnees underwent profiling and documentation by relevant agencies and were sensitized to uphold decorum and responsibility upon their return to Nigeria.
“The Federal Government urges all Nigerians, wherever they may be, to act as exemplary ambassadors of their country, by upholding the fundamental values of patriotism, rule of law, decency, and integrity,” the statement read.
