The Federal Government has finalized the screening of Nigerians who registered for evacuation from South Africa, setting the stage for their safe return home.
In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, officials confirmed that the exercise began on Thursday, June 4, and was jointly conducted by the Nigerian High Commission in Pretoria, South Africa’s Department of International Relations and Cooperation, the South African Police Service, and immigration authorities.
The screening was aimed at verifying the identities and eligibility of Nigerians seeking evacuation amid heightened security concerns and renewed xenophobic attacks.
With the process now concluded, authorities will determine the final list of cleared evacuees before deploying aircraft to convey them back to Nigeria.
“The Government will subsequently conclude arrangements for the deployment of aircraft to convey the evacuees back to Nigeria,” the ministry stated.
The Federal Government emphasized its commitment to safeguarding the welfare of Nigerians abroad and ensuring the safe return of those affected by the latest wave of anti-foreigner violence in South Africa.
