Most Nigerian girls in Lebanon not smuggled — Envoy
Lebanese Ambassador to Nigeria, Houssam Diab, said yesterday that contrary to popular assumption, most Nigerians, especially ladies in Lebanon, were not trafficked but entered the country legally.
The envoy said the suspension of the issuance of visas to domestic workers since May had also contributed to the situation. He noted that out of the estimated 5,000 Nigerians living in Lebanon, majority of them were gainfully employed. He noted that the evacuation further showed the strong bilateral relations between the two countries, in spite of the recent explosion in Lebanon.
