The Senate on Tuesday rejected calls to nationalise South African-owned businesses, including MTN and DStv, in retaliation for the ongoing xenophobic attacks on Nigerians, even as it strongly condemned the violence and urged the Federal Government to intensify diplomatic efforts to protect Nigerians in the country.
