271 Nigerians evacuated from South Africa arrive Lagos
Another batch of 271 Nigerians evacuated from South Africa arrived in Lagos on Tuesday under the Federal Government’s voluntary repatriation programme.
The Air Peace flight landed at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport shortly before 11 a.m. after departing Johannesburg at about 5 a.m. local time.
Officials of the National Emergency Management Agency, the Nigeria Immigration Service and the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission received the returnees on arrival.
The latest evacuation is part of the Federal Government’s ongoing efforts to assist Nigerians who have opted to return home amid rising anti-immigration tensions in South Africa.
