Vice President Kashim Shettima has reaffirmed Nigeria’s strong opposition to xenophobic and Afrophobic attacks against Nigerians and other African nationals in South Africa.
Speaking after representing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the 21st Extraordinary Session of the African Union Assembly in Luanda, Angola, Shettima said Nigeria remains committed to resolving concerns with South Africa through dialogue and peaceful engagement.
However, he stressed that Nigeria would continue to speak out whenever the safety and dignity of its citizens are threatened.
