The Federal Government is set to rescue and repatriate a group of Nigerian workers stranded in the Central African Republic.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Abuja disclosed this in a statement on Friday, following a viral video that showed the distressed individuals abandoned in the Bambari region, about 850km from the country’s capital, Bangui.
It confirmed that officials of the Nigerian Mission in the Central African Republic have successfully established contact with the affected nationals.
Spokesperson of the ministry, Kimiebi Ebienfa, said the Embassy of Nigeria in Bangui is actively liaising with local authorities to ensure the safety, welfare, and swift repatriation of the victims.
