FG Approves Airlift For 500 Nigerians In SA

The Federal Government has approved five evacuation flights to transport about 500 screened Nigerians from South Africa back to the country.

The decision comes after the affected citizens completed the required screening and clearance process.

Authorities said the flights will be conducted in batches to ensure an organised and smooth operation.

The evacuation is part of efforts to assist Nigerians who have indicated their readiness to return home.

The arrangement follows collaboration between Nigerian and South African authorities to facilitate the movement of the returnees.

Relevant agencies are expected to oversee the process and ensure the passengers arrive safely.

Officials said the exercise reflects the government’s commitment to the welfare of Nigerians abroad.

Preparations have been concluded for the operation, with the approved flights set to bring the screened citizens back to Nigeria.
