The Nigerian Federal Government has successfully repatriated 190 stranded Nigerians from the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This was confirmed in a statement issued by Mr. Bashir Garga, the Zonal Director of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) for the North Central region, on Tuesday in Abuja.

According to Garga, the returnees arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, at 5:57 a.m. They were received by a coordinated team of government officials led by NEMA. Upon arrival, the returnees underwent profiling and documentation by relevant agencies. They were also sensitized on the importance of conducting themselves with decorum and responsibility upon their return to Nigeria.

"The Federal Government urges all Nigerians, regardless of their location, to serve as exemplary ambassadors of their country, by upholding fundamental values such as patriotism, rule of law, decency, and integrity," the statement from NEMA emphasized.
