He also said that those who had acquired skills, under the state government, would be provided with relevant tools by the Oba Ewuare Foundation.
He advised the returnees to embrace agriculture and other legal businesses in order to become successful in the country.
The Oba frowned on the attitude of some parents toward illegal migration through the Mediterranean Sea and the Sahara desert.
He, however, maintained that the palace would employ all traditional means to eradicate the menace.
Earlier, the leader of the returnees, Mr. Vincent David, thanked the traditional ruler for his intervention in the fight against human trafficking.
