The Chairman of the Nigeria Diaspora Commission, NiDCOM, Abike Dabiri-Erewa has warned Nigerians not to travel to Northern Cyprus. Speaking to State House correspondents in Abuja today, Dabiri-Erewa said there is little the Federal Government can do to diplomatically resolve issues in the territory, noting that Northern Cyprus is not recognized by the international community except Turkey.
The warning follows reports that many Nigerian are being killed in Northern Cyprus. Dabiri-Erewa also urged Nigerians in Diaspora not to be afraid to invest in the country because of insecurity. While admitting that the country’s insecurity challenge is a source of concern, she said it is only temporary because of stiff measures currently employed by the Federal Government to tackle the situation. According to he the commission recorded over 20 billion Dollars in diaspora remittances for 2021.
