As the third batch arrives in Abuja, the focus should be on the evacuation process and the future of these returnees.

Reintegrating into society poses a significant challenge for these evacuees, many of whom have faced unimaginable hardships in war-torn Sudan.

The Nigerian government must proactively provide comprehensive support, including job placement programs, housing assistance, and mental health services.

It is also essential for communities nationwide to warmly welcome these returnees, offering them the understanding and assistance they need to rebuild their lives.

The government should establish task forces to facilitate their smooth return and reintegration into their home communities.

The Nigerian public must also be prepared to lend a hand, working together to create a supportive environment for those who have been displaced.
