The National Emergency Management Agency, has received 108 Nigerians who have been stranded in Tripoli, Libya.

Ahmed, represented by Lagos Territorial Office Coordinator, Ibrahim Farinloye, disclosed that the returnees arrived at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Cargo Wing, Ikeja, late Tuesday evening.
He said they came in on board an Al Buraq Air Boeing 737-800 with registration number 5A-DMG.
The DG said the government was committed to improving the economy and making it beneficial to everyone.
He then expressed optimism that the President Bola Tinubu-led administration would focus on youth empowerment, with a view to incorporating their energy and technological skills into developing the country.
“The President would evolve a policy that will see youths and women actively participating in the implementation.
“The youths will be the driving force of all decisions in the present administration because of the importance that the leadership of this nation has placed on tapping the potentials which abound in the largest segment of the population,” Ahmed said.
