President Muhammadu Buhari has directed the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, Mr Geoffrey Onyeama, to further engage the South African
authorities on “appropriate measures” the latter will take to end the
xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.
He has also given approval for the immediate voluntary evacuation of all Nigerians who are willing to return to Nigeria.
The President gave the directive upon receiving the report of the
special envoy he sent to President Cyril Ramaphosa last week to register
Nigeria’s concerns over the attacks.
The Presidency, in a statement on Monday, said the special envoy, who
is the Director-General, National Intelligence Agency, Ahmed
Rufai-Abubakar, returned to Nigeria after the assignment and submitted
his report to Buhari already.
