JUST IN: Over 100 Nigerians Moved Back To Nigeria After FG Announced UAE Lifted Visa Ban

The Nigerian Government has repatriated 190 citizens from the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The returnees arrived at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, at 5:45 am on Tuesday and were received by a combined team of government officials led by the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).

According to a statement by Bashir Idris Garga, NEMA Director, North Central Zone, the returnees were profiled and documented by relevant agencies and were urged to conduct themselves with decorum and responsibility upon their return to Nigeria.

“The federal government urges all Nigerians, wherever they may be, to act as exemplary ambassadors of their country, upholding the fundamental values of patriotism, rule of law, decency, and integrity,” the statement concluded.

This development came after the federal government announced that the UAE government had lifted the visa ban placed on Nigerians following an agreement reached by both countries.
