The Kano state government has received 310 indigenes out of the 1,319 Nigerians recently evacuated from Saudi Arabia by the Federal Government.
The Director, Consular and Legal Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Bolaji Akinremi, said this in a statement on Tuesday.
He said the returnees were quarantined at the FCT hajj camp on arrival to Nigeria.
The Director General, Kano Investment Promotion Agency and Diaspora, Hama Mohammed, said the returnees would be rehabilitated and reintegrated into the society.
“The state government is ever ready to receive them and make home (Kano) better for them than where they came from through vocational education and skills acquisition,” she said.
