Urgent Measures: FG Launches Plan To Bring Home Nigerians Stuck In Lebanon Due To Ongoing Violence

Urgent Measures: FG Launches Plan To Bring Home Nigerians Stuck In Lebanon Due To Ongoing ViolenceThe Federal Government has announced the initiation of preparations to evacuate Nigerians currently residing in Lebanon.

Ambassador Eche Abu-Obe, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, made this statement on Friday in Abuja in light of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.

“Given the worsening situation in Lebanon due to the Israel-Hezbollah conflict, the government has begun arrangements for the evacuation of Nigerians back to Nigeria,” Abu-Obe stated.

He emphasized that the Nigerian government is taking necessary measures to ensure the safety and protection of its citizens in Lebanon. The Nigerian Embassy in Lebanon has been providing regular advisories to the Nigerian community, including safety instructions. In August, the Embassy encouraged Nigerians to consider voluntary evacuation, while commercial flight options were still available. Additionally, Nigerians located in southern Lebanon have been relocated to Beirut and other safer areas with assistance from local Nigerian community leaders.

Abu-Obe noted that, importantly, no Nigerian lives have been lost since the conflict began. He reassured Nigerians that the Federal Government is actively engaging with relevant stakeholders and remains dedicated to the safety and protection of its nationals. “Preparations are underway to bring them back home,” he added.
