Nigeria Starts Evacuation of Citizens in Iran via Armenia Border
NiDCOM chairman Abike Dabiri-Erewa says Nigerian embassy officials in Tehran are escorting willing Nigerians across the Armenia border as part of emergency evacuation efforts.
The Federal Government has begun evacuating Nigerians who wish to leave Iran, moving them safely across the Armenia border amid growing tensions in the Middle East.
Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/CEO of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), disclosed the operation in a post on her X handle on Tuesday.
According to her, officials of the Nigerian Embassy in Tehran are overseeing the evacuation process and facilitating the safe transfer of Nigerians into Armenia.
“The willing Nigerians in Iran are being safely escorted across the Armenia border by officials from the Nigerian Embassy in Tehran, ensuring smooth and secure passage for those wishing to leave,” Dabiri-Erewa said.
She added that no Nigerian has been affected by the current tensions in Iran, while embassy officials are stationed at the border to assist and receive evacuees.
The evacuation, coordinated with Armenian authorities, forms part of the Federal Government’s broader efforts to ensure the safety of Nigerians overseas while closely monitoring developments in the Middle East.
