The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission NIDCOM, has denied a statement on various social media platforms allegedly from the Nigerians in the Diaspora organisation (East China) claiming it had written a letter to the Commission requesting to be evacuated in the face of the dreaded coronavirus ravaging the people living in China.
NIDCOM, however denied receiving such a correspondence from NIDO East China but saw it on different social media outlets.
However, the Commission said it has been in constant touch with Nigerian Students Association in Wuhan (NSAW) whose President is Okoye Chiamaka and Vandi Kamaunji (Secretary General), several Nigerians resident in China as well as our Mission in Beijing.
“All communication and suggestions we have received so far have been forwarded to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who will take appropriate decisions.” according to a statement by Abdur-Rahman Balogun, Head Media and Public Relations, NIDCOM, Abuja.
NIDCOM will continue to co ordinate with the Ministry and the mission in Beijing as it awaits further instructions as directed by the Hon. Minister in this particular situation, the statement added.
