The Federal Government has promised to protect every Nigerian resident in Libya, following the recent ruling by the Confederation of African Football against the Libyan Football Association.
Recall that shortly after the ruling, many people had feared possible attacks for Nigerians living in Libya after an alleged maltreatment and possible deportation by the government of the country against people from Nigeria.
In a statement issued on Monday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated that there is no cause for alarm as Nigerians in Libya are safe.
The statement by Eche Abu-Obe, the spokesperson for the ministry said Nigerians in Libya are going about their daily activities, devoid of any form of harassment by Libyan authorities.
Abu-Obe said, “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to reiterate that the well-being of Nigerian citizens anywhere in the world is a top priority of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and will continue to strive to safeguard it at all times.”
