The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), through its Kano Operations Office, has facilitated the return of 294 Nigerian migrant returnees from Agadez, Niger Republic.

The agency, in a statement released on Saturday, disclosed that the repatriation operation took place on Monday.

The returnees were safely transported to Nigeria aboard two chartered flights landing at Malam Aminu Kano International Airport.

The first flight, operated by Sky Mali, landed in Nigeria with 148 returnees, while the second flight arrived with the remaining 146 individuals.

Upon arrival, the returnees were transported to the Hajj Camp Terminal in Kano, where NEMA and its partners conducted profiling, documentation, and other necessary processes.

NEMA disclosed that the returnees were provided with transport fare to aid their journey back to their respective destinations in Nigeria.
