The Federal Government has commenced arrangements to evacuate its citizens from Lebanon due to escalating tensions between Israel and Iran.
In an announcement, Special Assistant to the President Bola Tinubu on Social Media, Dada Olusegun in a post on X, formerly Twitter on Tuesday advised Nigerians in Lebanon to contact the Nigerian mission for documentation.
Alert! All Nigerians in Lebanon are expected to get in touch with the Nigerian mission for profiling and documentation and subsequent evacuation,” he wrote.
This comes as Iran fired ballistic missiles at Israel on Tuesday, retaliating for the assassination of Hezbollah leaders, prompting a heated exchange of threats.
However, global powers, including China and Saudi Arabia, are calling for calm and dialogue.
