The Federal Government has promised to protect its citizens in Libya, following the recent ruling by the Confederation of African Football against the Libyan Football Association.
Remember that this development was as a result of the maltreatment of Nigerian team at the Nations Cup Qualifying Match.
In a statement released by the spokesperson, Amb. Eche Abu-Obe, the Ministry assured the people that Nigerians in Libya are protected and safe.
The statement read, “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to convey that as of the time of making this statement, Nigerians in Libya are going about their daily activities, devoid of any form of harassment by Libyan authorities, following the verdict of the Confederation of African Football which indicted the Libyan Football Association for their ill-treatment of the Nigerian team and officials while in Libya for a Nations Cup Qualifying Match.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to reiterate that the well-being of Nigerian citizens anywhere in the world is a top priority of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and will continue to strive to safeguard it at all times.”
