The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has extended
an invitation to the Acting High Commissioner of the Republic of South Africa for a meeting scheduled at the Ministry’s
headquarters in Abuja.
The engagement is to formally convey the Nigerian Government’s profound concern regarding recent events that have the potential
to impact the established cordial relations between Nigeria and South Africa.
Discussions will primarily focus on the ongoing demonstrations by various
groups within South Africa and the documented instances of mistreatment of
Nigerian citizens and attacks on their businesses.
The Ministry being aware of the growing discontent among Nigerians concerning the treatment of their nationals in South Africa, implores the Nigerian public to remain calm and reiterates the Federal Government’s commitment to protecting their rights and well-being in South Africa.
