A total of 103 Nigerians deported from the Republic of Turkiye back to Nigeria have been received by the National Emergency Management Agency and other stakeholders.
The deportees who arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on Friday at 7pm through the pilgrims wing of the airport were received by the Federal Government officials led by NEMA.
A Southwind Airlines flight, TCGRB, conveyed the deportees from Turkiye to Nigeria.
Addressing the returnees, the Director General of NEMA, Mrs. Zubaida Umar, admonished them to accept their experience in good faith and be law-abiding.
The DG NEMA, who was represented by the Director, North Central Zone, Alhaji Bashir Garga, said the returnees were received with dignity to assuage their experience and assured the concerns of the Federal Government over their plights.
Umar announced that a token of financial support had been provided to assist in their transportation to their various locations.
