FG Summons South African Envoy Over Xenophobic Attacks on Nigerians

FG Summons South African Envoy Over Xenophobic Attacks on Nigerians

The Federal Government has invited South Africa’s Acting High Commissioner to Abuja on May 4, 2026. Officials will express Nigeria’s deep concern over recent violent protests in South Africa that targeted foreign-owned businesses, including those of Nigerians. At the meeting, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will address reports of harassment, violence, and property destruction. They will press for the safety and fair treatment of Nigerian citizens abroad. Nigeria urges its nationals to remain calm while diplomatic negotiations proceed. The discussions aim to ease bilateral tensions and protect strong economic and political ties.

Summoning the envoy demonstrates diplomatic pressure, yet expressing 'deep concern' alone may fall short of safeguarding Nigerian traders in South Africa.

Nigerian businesses in South Africa should document each incident and share reports with FG officials before and after the envoy meeting.
