The Federal Government has announced that another evacuation flight carrying Nigerians from South Africa will depart on Tuesday as authorities continue efforts to protect citizens amid fears of possible xenophobic attacks.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that an Air Peace aircraft left Nigeria on Monday and is expected to return with another group of Nigerians seeking voluntary repatriation.
The evacuation comes ahead of planned anti-immigrant protests expected to begin on June 30 in parts of South Africa, with Nigerian officials urging citizens to remain calm, stay alert, avoid protest areas, and maintain contact with the Nigerian High Commission.
Foreign Affairs spokesperson Kimiebi Ebienfa said the return flight is expected to arrive at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos, on Tuesday morning.
The evacuation programme was approved by President Bola Tinubu to assist Nigerians who wish to return home. So far, hundreds of Nigerians have already been brought back in previous flights.
The Nigerian government said it is working with South African authorities and relevant agencies to ensure the safety of its citizens while the evacuation exercise continues.
