Nigerians reluctant to return amid Tunisia attacks - NiDCOM

Nigerians in Tunisia are reportedly reluctant to return to Nigeria following the Tunisian President's remarks on sub-Saharan migrants, according to the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM).

In a meeting of Tunisia's National Security Council on February 21, President Kais Saied called for urgent measures against illegal immigration and described the migrant influx as a conspiracy to change the country's democratic makeup. 

The Chairman of NiDCOM, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, said that only a few Nigerians have agreed to return to Nigeria and that the Nigerian Ambassador to Tunisia is working with the International Organization for Migration to arrange tickets for them. 

Many Nigerians in Tunisia are hoping that the situation will improve, following the intervention of the African Union and the African Group of Ambassadors. 

Although Nigeria does not have a large community in Tunisia, the mission will update if there are further requests to return. The Tunisian president has since denounced making racist comments.
