The federal government says it is pursuing compensation for Nigerians affected by recent attacks in South Africa while strengthening diplomatic efforts to prevent further violence.
Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Amb. Sola Enikanolaiye, disclosed this on Tuesday after briefing President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He said the briefing followed Tinubu’s directive to receive South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s special envoy and foreign minister, Ronald Lamola.
Enikanolaiye said he updated the president on commitments secured from South Africa, including activating an early warning mechanism and the Nigeria-South Africa Bi-National Commission.
He also briefed Tinubu on the evacuation of about 1,490 Nigerians from South Africa following the attacks.
