    “I thank the Federal Government for taking care of our feeding over there and ensuring our safe return.

    “I, however, wish to return to Sudan once the war is over to complete my education, because I just have seven months to graduate,” he said.

    Officials of the Ministries of Humanitarian Affairs, Foreign Affairs, NEMA, NAPTIP, NIDCOM, Refugees Commission, Port Health officials, Police, among others, were all on ground to receive the returnees.
