The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) Wednesday advised Nigerians resident in Lebanon to consider moving out of the country now that commercial flights are still in operation.
NIDCOM gave the advice in a statement by its director of Media, Public Relations and Protocols Unit, Abdur-Rahman Balogun.
The commission said, “Information from the Nigerian community in Lebanon indicated that most Nigerians have relocated from the southern part and are now relatively safe.
“Worried by the attacks on Hezbollah and other areas in Lebanon by Israeli government, the NIDCOM is hereby advising Nigerians resident in Lebanon to consider moving out of the country now that commercial flights are still in operation”, it said.
NIDCOM added,”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,” he said.
