The Nigerian government has announced June 30 as the deadline for the evacuation of its citizens from South Africa, urging all Nigerians willing to return home to register before the exercise concludes.
The Federal Government said the evacuation is part of ongoing efforts to safeguard the welfare and security of Nigerians residing in South Africa, particularly those facing difficulties or wishing to voluntarily return.
Relevant government agencies have been directed to coordinate the evacuation process, while affected citizens have been advised to comply with registration and travel requirements to ensure a smooth operation.
Officials said further details on departure schedules and logistics would be communicated through the appropriate diplomatic channels.
