Air Peace Flight Evacuating Nigerians From South Africa Granted Landing Permit.
South African authorities have granted the Air Peace Flight B777, a landing permit to enable it to evacuate some Nigerians from the country.
Over 300 Nigerians were initially expected to return today as part of the government’s efforts to evacuate Nigerians, in the wake of xenophobic attacks in South Africa.The initial delay was as a result of the airline not obtaining a landing permit on time.The Federal Government has also confirmed that none of the returnees are criminals and that issues of compensation for victims will be handled by the ministry of foreign affairs.
This according to him, is because he believes both Nigeria and South Africa should be able to sort out their differences privately. Onyeama disclosed this on Tuesday at a media briefing on Nigeria’s participation at the 74th UNGA holding in New York. The Minister further stated that the issues of non-renewal of work permits of Nigerians in South Africa and the reports around the cancellation of the residency of the returnees will be discussed by both President Muhammadu Buhari and Cyril Ramaphosa during their meeting on October 3.
