FG to evacuate additional 250 Nigerians from UAE

The Federal Government will evacuate an additional 250 Nigerians from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) soon.
The federal government on Tuesday evacuated 190 Nigerians from the Gulf State.
The government had also evacuated over 500 Nigerians from UAE in October 2022.
The Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, stated this during a visit to the UAE Ambassador to Nigeria, Salem Al-Shamsi, on Wednesday in Abuja.
Dabiri-Erewa, according to a statement issued by the NiDCOM spokesman, Gabriel Odu, said the commission would engage and encourage Nigerians in the UAE to be good ambassadors in their host country.
The statement read: “Dabiri-Erewa stated that NiDCOM intends to engage and sensitize Nigerians in the UAE to be good ambassadors of their country of stay and country of origin, to excel in whatever they are doing and never to forget home. She added that this initiative aims to foster better understanding and compliance with local regulations.
“She also disclosed that 190 Nigerians were repatriated to Nigeria, with an additional 250 expected to return soon. She noted that the actions of individuals in a host country can greatly impact the overall image of their home country. She also noted the role of Western media imperialism in perpetuating negative stereotypes about Nigerians.”
