The Federal Government has said Nigerians being deported from the US are welcome.
This is according to the Director of Media and Corporate Affairs of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NiDCOM, Abdur-Rahman Balogun.
Balogun made this known while speaking in an interview on Tuesday.
The Commission stated that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in charge of such development, adding that FG has already set up an inter-agency committee to handle the matter should Nigerians be deported from the US.
“The Federal Government has set up an inter-agency committee, comprising the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, NiDCOM, Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and office of the National Security Adviser, NSA, should there be mass deportation of Nigerians from the US.”
The spokesperson however stressed that its commission was not aware of Nigerians in America being processed for deportation.
Recall that about 3,690 Nigerians in the United States are faced with deportation as Donald Trump crackdown on illegal immigrants in the country.
