The Nigerian News Agency (NAN ) reports that the affected Nigerians traveled to Russia for the 2018 FIFA World Cup but failed after the competition.

Football fans ran aground in the country following the activities of some unscrupulous travel agents who canceled their return tickets and gave up on their fate.

The presidential aide observed that already the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Aviation had, in accordance with the directive of the President, taken the necessary steps to bring back the Nigerians.

The presidential directive is in line with the current administration's policy of ensuring the well-being of all Nigerians around the world.
It will be recalled that the Buhari administration had repeatedly ensured the repatriation of Nigerians from abroad such as Libya and other areas of conflict. (NAN)
