FG To Speed Up Repatriating Migrants From Libya
The Federal Government is to speed up repatriating its citizens from Libya which has been accused of exploiting and ill-treating migrants, the foreign affairs minister, Geoffrey Onyeama, said in Tripoli on Saturday.
Onyeama told a news conference that Nigeria was chartering two aircraft to repatriate over the next few days 800 of its citizens who wanted to go home.
Almost 1,300 Nigerian migrants were brought home from Libya last November - nearly twice as many as in the previous month, the head of Nigeria's National Emergency Management Agency said in December.
