The Federal Government has successfully completed another phase of its evacuation programme for Nigerians stranded in South Africa, with the fourth batch of returnees arriving safely in Lagos on Thursday evening.
The latest group was transported by Air Peace after a technical fault delayed the scheduled departure of the aircraft on Wednesday. Despite the setback, the operation was successfully completed, allowing more Nigerians affected by the recent xenophobic attacks to return home.
The arrival marks another milestone in the ongoing repatriation exercise coordinated by the Federal Government to assist citizens caught up in the unrest in South Africa.
With the latest flight, the total number of Nigerians evacuated from South Africa has now climbed to nearly 1,000, reflecting the government’s continued efforts to ensure the safe return of affected citizens.
Authorities have maintained that the evacuation exercise remains focused on providing support for Nigerians impacted by the recent wave of xenophobic violence, while ensuring that all returnees are safely brought back to the country.
