The Chairperson of the House of Representative on foreign affairs, Nnenna Elendu-Ukeje has called on the federal government to act very quickly by making an arrangement to have all Nigerians in South Africa evacuated within 24-hours, following recent xenophobic attacks. She said it in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria.....
"The Federal government of Nigeria should rise up to the occasion by having contingency plans to evacuate Nigerians within 24-hrs to avoid us losing our citizens to these attacks. It is expedient to think of where all Nigerians can gather within 24-hrs for safety either in our embassy or mission for the safety of our citizens"....she said.
Abike Dabiri-Erewa, who is the chairperson of the House committee on Diaspora also condemned the attacks and said that the House of Representative members will move a motion in it's next plenary session to discuss the attack.....
Thumbs-up ladies. That't how it's done!....the Nigerian government have been too silent on this issue...#Sad Something needs to be done and it needs to be done fast!
