Xenophobia: President Buhari’s special envoy to return Saturday
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama
He said this when he appeared before the Senate committee on Diaspora on Friday, noting that the country will not sever diplomatic ties with South Africa as a result of the attacks on Nigerians.
The minister said taking such action would not be in the interest of Nigerians based in South Africa.
He said Nigeria would consider other options apart from diplomatic ties severance, to resolve the ongoing crisis.
Onyeama said the government is handling the latest attacks against Nigerians in the appropriate manner.
