FG demands end to attacks on Nigerians in S’Africa

The Federal Government of Nigeria has called for urgent measures to end xenophobic and Afrophobic attacks against African nationals in South Africa. The Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Amb Sola Enikanolaiye, emphasized the need for stronger migration governance, responsible political leadership, and deeper people-to-people relations across the continent.

Enikanolaiye expressed concern over the irony of citizens from countries that supported South Africa during its anti-apartheid struggle now being treated as "unwanted outsiders."
