Welcoming the returnees on behalf of the federal government, Mustapha Ahmed, Director-General, National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), said that President Muhammadu Buhari had approved that $100 be given to each of them.

Mr Ahmed, represented by the Director, Search and Rescue, NEMA, Edward Adedokun, added that the money was meant to assist them with their transportation to their various locations.
