 Most Nigerians in Lebanon reluctant to return home amid Israel-Hezbollah conflict – FG


The Nigerian government has expressed concern over the lack of willingness among many Nigerians in Lebanon to return home despite the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.


According to a statement issued by Ambassador Eche Abu-Obe, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, only about 500 Nigerians have registered for evacuation, though over 2,000 are currently residing in Lebanon.


“Even though most of them have not indicated a willingness to return home in spite of the persuasion by our embassy, we will continue to do everything to ensure the safety of our citizens,” Abu-Obe stated.


The ministry stated the importance of cooperation with the evacuation process, urging Nigerians in Lebanon not to resist evacuation as the conflict could escalate further.


The government has activated emergency protocols to prioritise the safety of its citizens, collaborating with various agencies including the National Emergency Management Agency, the Department of State Services, and the Nigerian Immigration Service, to ensure a smooth evacuation process.


The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reaffirmed that the Nigerian Embassy in Beirut has been actively advising Nigerians to stay indoors and follow local authorities’ instructions.


It also encouraged those who have not registered with the embassy to do so immediately via the provided email address.


The statement added that no Nigerian lives have been lost in the conflict so far. Arrangements are being made to send a C-130 aircraft or other available flights to facilitate the evacuation from Beirut, where many Nigerians have relocated from southern Lebanon—the epicentre of the conflict.


The Nigerian government extended its appreciation to the international community for their understanding and vowed to continue monitoring the situation closely.
