“The federal government urges all Nigerians, wherever they may be, to act as exemplary ambassadors of their country, by upholding the fundamental values of patriotism, rule of law, decency, and integrity,” Garga said.
In May, the agency received 150 stranded Nigerians repatriated from Chad Republic.
NEMA said the repatriated Nigerians include 71 children, 48 females, eight infants and 23 men.
