The Federal Government has said it may consider retaliatory measures against South Africa over the treatment of Nigerians living in the country, even as arrangements for the evacuation of citizens willing to return home are being finalised.
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, disclosed this while speaking with journalists in Abuja, on Monday.
Responding to a question on whether Nigeria was considering retaliation, the minister said, “Well, that is a situation that we are considering. This is up to our legislature. This is up to the highest.
“This is a decision that has to be taken at the highest level of government, but it’s not off the table.”
