The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) has asked Nigerians living in Lebanon to leave the country and move to safer places while commercial flights are still in operation..
The advice issued on Wednesday comes after the Commission’s expression of worry over the attacks on Hezbollah and other areas in Lebanon by the Israeli forces.
The Commission in the advisory signed by its Director of Media, Public Relations and Protocols Unit, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, said, “Though information from the Nigerian community in Lebanon indicated that most Nigerians have relocated from the southern part and are now relatively safe, we hereby advise them to keep safe until the ceasefire is in place.
“It is gratifying to note that thus far, no Nigerian has witnessed any form of accident or injury and wish to advise them to continue to remain safe while the war lasts.
“Nigerians are equally advised to liaise with our Embassy in Lebanon for necessary guidance regarding their safety and be rest assured that their welfare and safety is of utmost concern to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
