A fresh batch of no fewer than 390 Nigerian migrants, who were stranded in Niamey, Niger Republic, have been repatriated to the country.

The returnees, comprising 387 adult males, two adult females, and one infant boy, arrived at the Nigeria Immigration Training School, Kano.

It should be recalled that in December 2024, a set of 702 stranded Nigerians were repatriated from Niger Republic.

During a reception held for them in Kano, the Federal Commissioner of the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants, and Internally Displaced Persons, TIJJANI AHMED, reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to reintegrating the returnees into various empowerment programmes under the renewed hope agenda of President BOLA TINUBU.

Also, he disclosed that the repatriation efforts were facilitated via a multi-agency operation organized by the Nigerian Mission in Niamey in collaboration with the International Organization for Migration.
