Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Dr. Bernard M. Doro at a press conference
The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Dr. Bernard Doro, has called on Nigerians, corporate organisations, state governments, faith-based institutions, community leaders, and development partners to support the reintegration of 258 Nigerians recently returned from South Africa.
Doro made the appeal on Friday, stressing that beyond celebrating democratic governance, Nigerians must also reflect on values such as compassion, solidarity, and shared responsibility.
He said the returnees, who arrived at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, aboard a chartered Air Peace flight facilitated by the Federal Government, require collective support to rebuild their lives and livelihoods.
According to the minister, while the government has provided initial assistance including reception, profiling, health screening and documentation, sustainable reintegration will depend on broader societal involvement.
