In response to growing concerns over the safety and well-being of Nigerians residing in Lebanon, the Nigerian Embassy has issued an urgent call for all Nigerian citizens in the country to contact the mission for profiling and documentation. This step is seen as critical in facilitating their subsequent evacuation, amid escalating tensions in the region.

In an official statement, the Nigerian mission emphasized the importance of swift compliance, noting that accurate profiling will enable authorities to ensure the safe and orderly evacuation of nationals who wish to return home.

The announcement follows reports of deteriorating living conditions and an increasing number of Nigerians facing hardships in Lebanon. This directive is part of broader efforts by the Nigerian government to safeguard the welfare of its citizens abroad.

While there has been no official confirmation regarding the timeline for the evacuation process, the embassy assured citizens that all necessary measures are being put in place to expedite their safe return. The mission has also called on all community leaders and concerned individuals to spread awareness of this development.

Nigerians in Lebanon are encouraged to contact the embassy immediately to provide their details and ensure they are included in the evacuation plans.

This comes as Nigeria continues to monitor the situation in Lebanon and reiterates its commitment to the protection of its nationals worldwide.

For further inquiries or assistance, citizens are urged to contact the Nigerian mission directly.
