The National Emergency Management Agency says it has received 123 Nigerian returnees from Algeria under the Assisted Voluntary Return (AVR) Programme.
Recall that in July 2025, NEMA said it received 104 Nigerian returnees from Algeria.
According to the report then, the group comprised 80 adult males, 14 adult females, two male children, five female children and three infants.
The returnees underwent biometric registration by the Nigeria Immigration Service and received humanitarian assistance, including food, water, medical support and logistics services.
Meanwhile, in a Tuesday statement posted on X and dated June 29, “the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Lagos Operations Office, has received 123 Nigerian returnees from Algeria under the ongoing Assisted Voluntary Return (AVR) Programme facilitated by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in collaboration with the Federal Government of Nigeria.”
