Leading telecom company Airtel Nigeria has stepped in to help 31 Nigerian women who were just rescued from Ghana. They are now able to reunite with their loved ones and start the process of reconstructing their lives. On Friday, April 25, the ladies who had returned to Nigeria as a result of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission’s (NiDCOM) assistance were formally welcomed at the NiDCOM office in Agidingbi, Lagos.
Thank you for visiting The Vestigator, don't forget to share!
Airtel Nigeria gave SIM cards that were filled with data and airtime in an attempt to assist the returnees in re-establishing contact with their relatives. The goal of this program is to give the recipients access to critical information and support services while allowing them to reconnect with their loved ones. Femi Adeniran, Director, Corporate Communications & CSR, Airtel Nigeria, spoke about the intervention and reiterated Airtel’s dedication to give back to the society.
We are honoured to support their safe reintegration endeavour by giving them data, SIMs, and airtime so they may rebuild and reunite with their loved ones. We applaud NiDCOM for its dedication to the well-being of Nigerians worldwide, and we are honoured to contribute in any way to this admirable endeavour. “Oh,” he said.
Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/CEO of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), welcomed the returns and thanked Airtel Nigeria and other important parties for helping the rescued victims. On behalf of President Bola Tinubu, you are being welcomed. No matter where you live, the President cares about you and all Nigerians. Keep your heads up.
Your state governments will offer assistance to people who choose to go back to school or pick up a trade, Dabiri-Erewa stated. She also expressed gratitude to Airtel Nigeria for supplying the returnees with starter packs, stressing the importance of teamwork in providing rescued victims with a new beginning and an opportunity to start over.
After receiving initial orientation, the returnees—many of whom had experienced trauma during their time in Ghana—were given vital support to start the process of reintegrating into Nigerian culture. Remember that earlier this month, NIDCOM reported that over 200 girls had been rescued from Ghana.
