Commending the swift response of government officials, the Committee applauded the efforts of the Chairman/CEO of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, and the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Bianca Ojukwu, for their timely diplomatic interventions. It also acknowledged the collaborative work of both the Nigerian and Ghanaian High Commissions in addressing the issue and restoring calm.
The Committee reassured Nigerians residing in Ghana that both countries’ authorities are in close communication and have taken proactive steps to protect their rights and welfare.
In conclusion, the Committee expressed solidarity with all law-abiding Nigerians in Ghana and urged them to remain peaceful and avoid inciteful rhetoric. It reaffirmed that diplomatic channels are being effectively utilized to resolve the situation and preserve harmony between the two West African nations.
