Amid reports of killings in Northern Cyprus, the Federal Government through the Nigeria Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) has warned Nigerians against traveling to Northern Cyprus.
The chairman of the commission Mrs. Abike Dabiri-Erewa issued the advice while speaking to State House correspondents in Abuja on Thursday.
Dabiri-Erewa said there is little the Federal Government can do to diplomatically resolve issues in the territory because Northern Cyprus is not recognised by the international community except Turkey.
Dabiri-Erewa also urged Nigerians in Diaspora not to be afraid to invest in the country because of insecurity.
While admitting that the country’s insecurity challenge is a source of concern, she said it is only temporary because of stiff measures currently employed by the Federal Government to tackle the situation.
She said the commission recorded over $20 billion in diaspora remittances for 2021.
