Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, has
said that the 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.”
