The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) Kano Operations Office received 148 Nigerian migrant returnees from Sudan on Friday, September 20, 2025. These returnees arrived at Malam Aminu Kano International Airport aboard a chartered flight operated by Tarco Aviation at approximately 2:30 p.m.
Returnee Details:
– Total Returnees: 148

Post-Arrival Process:
Upon arrival, the returnees were transported to the Chila Hotel for profiling and documentation by relevant stakeholders. After completing the documentation process, they were discharged and provided with transport fare via ATM cards.
The return of these migrants is part of the Nigerian government’s ongoing efforts to ensure the safe evacuation of citizens stranded abroad, particularly in conflict zones like Sudan. The conflict in Sudan, which began in April 2023, has displaced millions and strained the country’s infrastructure. NEMA, in collaboration with international partners, continues to monitor the situation and provide support to affected Nigerians.
