The Federal Government is working to repatriate 15,000 Nigerians stranded in Cameroon, Niger, Chad, and other countries.
According to Alhaji Tijani Ahmed, Federal Commissioner of the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons (NCFRMI), discussions are ongoing to ensure their safe return.
