Xenophobia: FG commences evacuation of Nigerians in South Africa by fergie001(mod): 12:04pm On Sep 05, 2019
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced that Air Peace Airline would commence the evacuation of Nigerians in South Africa from Sept. 6, following recent attacks on Nigerians in that country.

Mr. Ferdinand Nwonye, Spokesperson for the Ministry, made this known in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.

Nwonye said that Mr. Allen Onyema, Proprietor of Air Peace Airline, volunteered to send an aircraft from Friday, Sept. 6, to evacuate Nigerians who wish to return free of charge.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to inform the general public that following the recent xenophobic attack on foreign nationals, including Nigerians in South Africa, the Proprietor of Air Peace Airlines, has volunteered to send an aircraft to evacuate Nigerians.

“The general public is hereby advised to inform their relatives in South Africa to take advantage of this laudable gesture.

“Interested Nigerians are therefore advised to liaise with the High Commission of Nigeria in Pretoria and the Consulate General of Nigeria in Johannesburg for further necessary arrangement,” the statement stated.

Good move by the fed govt.

Not that this will stop "them" from still searching for something to wail about on this move.

Meanwhile, this for those who have ears.

Same way anybody who refuse to take advantage of this shouldn't blame the fed govt for not doing anything in the event of further attack.
