Nnenna Elendu-Ukeje, Chairperson of the Nigerian House of Representatives Committee on Foreign
Affairs, has called on the government of Nigeria to begin moves to evacuate Nigerians in South Africa in midst of
xenophobic attacks. During an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria,
Ukeje said;
“The Federal Government of Nigeria should rise up to the occasion by
having contingency plans to evacuate Nigerians within 24 hours to avoid
us losing our citizens to these attacks. It is expedient to think of
where all Nigerians can gather within 24 hours for safety either in our
embassy or mission for the safety of our citizens,” she said.
Also speaking, chairperson of the House committee on Diaspora, Abike
Dabiri-Erewa condemned the attacks and said the House of Representative
members will move a motion in its next plenary session to discuss the
attacks
