Nigerian Union South Africa urges Fani-Kayode to act
The Nigerian Union South Africa (NUSA) has called on the newly appointed Nigerian High Commissioner to South Africa, Ambassador Femi Fani-Kayode, to tackle several pressing issues affecting Nigerians in the country. During a community engagement event in Johannesburg, NUSA President-General Attorney Smart Nwobi emphasized the need for improvements in passport processing, addressing xenophobic attacks, and providing support for Nigerian-owned businesses.
Nwobi welcomed Fani-Kayode, praising his distinguished background as a lawyer, former Minister of Aviation, and public servant. He expressed optimism that Fani-Kayode's leadership would strengthen relations between the Nigerian diplomatic mission and the diaspora community.
NUSA identified the slow and costly process of obtaining Nigerian passports as a priority concern and urged stronger diplomatic engagement with South African authorities to protect Nigerian lives and property. The organization also highlighted the need for fair treatment of Nigerian entrepreneurs and support mechanisms for vulnerable Nigerians across Southern Africa.
