Nigerian Government is working towards ending xenophobic attacks on
Nigerians in South Africa.
The minister, who was quoted on the Twitter handle of the Government of
Nigeria, said, “We have made very concrete proposal to the South African
Government and we believe that if the measures discussed are put in
place, we will have a very good chance of this not occurring again.
“In the first place, we addressed the issue of compensation, there has
to be accountability and there has to be responsibility for compensating
all those Nigerians affected.
“Secondly, we believe that the Nigerian and South African security
forces can have an arrangement where there will be cooperation on the
ground to address such occurrences.
“Details will be worked out with South African Government.”
