Nigerian government has reacted
to the video of Nigerian ladies stranded in Saudi Arabia.
NigerianEye earlier reported the
video of the young lady in hijab crying out to President Muhammadu Buhari and
other authorities to rescue her and other ladies from Saudi Arabia.
According to her, they are
stranded and want to return to Nigeria.
Reacting, Abike Dabiri-Erewa,
Chairman of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NIDCOM, assured that the
commission was working together with the Saudi institution to bring back about
200 prisoners.
She also directed the lady in the
video and others stranded in Saudi Arabia to report to the mission on Sunday
and register in order to seek permission and process their return.
On her Twitter page, the NIDCOM
Chairman wrote: “There are processes and procedures to follow. Saudi
institutions are on holidays. They resume Sunday.
“Rather than come anonymously
here, from Sunday when they open for work, they should go to the mission to
register. The mission will then appeal for permit, etc. and they will return.
“Moreso it’s the prisoners ( about 200) that
the Saudis want to bring back. They want to decongest their deportation
centres. But the bone of contention now is that the prisoners must get their
COVID-19 tests done before evacuation. Discussions will continue after they
resume on Sunday.”
