The Federal Government has summoned the acting High Commissioner of South Africa to a meeting in Abuja following concerns over recent protests targeting foreigners and attacks on Nigerian citizens and their businesses in the country.
According to a statement issued on Saturday by the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kimiebi Ebienfa, the meeting is scheduled to take place on Monday at the ministry’s headquarters.
The ministry stated that the engagement was aimed at addressing developments that could strain diplomatic ties between the two nations, which have historically maintained cordial relations.
The ministry noted that discussions at the meeting would centre on the ongoing demonstrations by groups in South Africa, as well as reported cases involving Nigerian nationals.
While acknowledging rising tensions among Nigerians over the situation, the Federal Government called for restraint and assured citizens of its commitment to their safety abroad.
