The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has received a batch of 257 Nigerian Voluntary Returnees from Libya who were stranded in the course of their failed attempt to cross over to Europe through Libya.

The Airbus A330-200 flight with Registration number 5A- LAT touched down at MMIA Ikeja at 9:15 p.m and the IOM handed over to the Zonal Coordinator of NEMA South-West, Alhaji Suleiman Yakubu on behalf of the federal government.

The Director General of NEMA, Engr. Mustapha Maihajja, represented by the zonal coordinator enjoined the returnees to embrace the Change mantras of the federal government.

This is to bring the nation back on track by making their quotas in the development and redefining the new Nigeria all crave for instead of seeking greener pastures where it doesn’t exist.

He appealed to them that no one would treat them as second citizen because they were to enjoy their full rights unlike foreign countries where they would be regarded as second citizens without certain benefits especially those that were illegal migrants.

The returnees were given food on arrival and token for their transportation to their respective destinations.

The Next Edition gathered that more returnees are expected before the end of the week.
