Background: Returnee migrants in Nigeria often face significant psychosocial and economic challenges during reintegration, necessitating resilience to adapt and recover. This study examined factors influencing resilience among returnee migrants in Nigeria. Methodology: A mixed methods design was employed, involving 1316 returnees selected through multistage sampling across Nigeria six geopolitical zones. Quantitative data were collected using the Connor Davidson Resilience Scale and analyzed using SPSS version 28. Qualitative data was obtained through eight focus group discussions and analyzed thematically. Result: Social support from family and friends was inconsistent (70.8% reported occasional support), while community support was largely absent (85.9%). Financial insecurity was widespread (gt 90%). Male gender (AOR = 6.092, plt 0.001), ethnicity, and higher education were significant predictors of resilience. Qualitative findings highlighted the role of family support, faith, adaptive coping, and skill acquisition in strengthening resilience. Conclusion: Resilience among returnee migrants in Nigeria is limited by weak structural and economic support, despite moderate personal coping capacity. Strengthening economic opportunities, community integration, and access to mental health services is essential for sustainable reintegration. Keywords: Returnee migrants, resilience, Reintegration, and psychosocial factors.
