The Federal Government has initiated the evacuation of Nigerians in Iran who wish to leave, facilitating their safe passage across the Armenia border amid escalating regional tensions.
Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman and CEO of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NiDCOM, confirmed the operation in a post on her X account on Tuesday.
According to Dabiri-Erewa, officials from the Nigerian Embassy in Tehran are coordinating the evacuation, ensuring that citizens who opt to leave Iran are safely escorted into Armenia.
“The willing Nigerians in Iran are being safely guided across the Armenia border by officials from the Nigerian Embassy in Tehran, ensuring a smooth and secure process for those seeking to depart,” she stated.
She also reassured that, to date, no Nigerian has been harmed amid the ongoing tensions and that embassy personnel remain on hand at the border to provide assistance and support to evacuees.
The evacuation, carried out in collaboration with Armenian authorities, forms part of the Federal Government’s effort to safeguard Nigerians abroad during emergencies. It emphasizes the government’s vigilance over developments in the Middle East and its commitment to protecting the welfare of citizens overseas.
