The National Emergency Management Agency says 12,974 Nigerians have voluntarily returned from Libya within the last two years. NEMA
The agency said the returnees were assisted back from the volatile North African country by the European Union and International Organisation for Migration Voluntary Assisted Returnees Programme which began in April 2017.
They arrived barely 24 hours after another batch of 180 of their compatriots returned to Nigeria from the same country. Muhammed thanked IOM and EU for facilitating the return of the Nigerians and assured them that the Federal Government was ready to work with development partners to create a conducive environment for young Nigerians.
Also speaking, the EU Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Ketil Karlsen , who witnessed the 65th flight since the programme started, said migration should be aspiration but not desperation.
