107 stranded Nigerian migrants evacuated from Libya
ANOTHER batch of 107 Nigerians stranded in Libya were Tuesday evacuated by the Federal Government.
This is in continuation of the Buhari administration’s rescue operations to ensure no Nigerian is left behind in the North African country.
“The Federal Government, in collaboration with the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), have successfully carried out four evacuation exercises, repatriating about 700 stranded Nigerians from Libya in 2023 already,’’ Amb. Kabiru Musa, Charge D’affaires en titre of the Nigerian Mission in Libya, said in a statement on Tuesday.
“Among the evacuees are 49 males, 48 females, eight children and two infants.
“Nigeria, with the support of the IOM, will continue to intensify efforts to rescue, protect and ensure the safe return of all stranded migrants in Libya,” Musa said.
