The angry reaction of Nigerians to the xenophobic attacks on foreigners in South Africa dominates Nigerian press on Wednesday.
The Punch reported that anger on Tuesday greeted xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa with dignitaries and organisations, including President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, the Senate and the House of Representatives, expressing their displeasure over the continued killing.
President Buhari specifically sent a special envoy to President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa to express his deep concern about the “reported attacks on Nigerian citizens and property in South Africa since August 29, 2019”.
ChannelsTV said the Federal Government has called on its citizens not to attack South African companies operating in Nigeria in retaliation for the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.
The Guardian reported also that Nigerian government sent special envoys to South Africa to among others demand a compensation for Nigerians who have suffered loss in the latest waves of attacks on businesses owned by foreigners.
ThisDay said that the Federal Government has resolved that the joint accounts being operated by both local and state governments would soon end through constitutional means.
The Secretary to Government of the Federation, Mr. Boss Gida Mustapha, said this on Tuesday in Abuja at the Nigerian LG summit 2019.
The Nation said Nigerian will go on the full offensive to fend off the $9.6 billion judgment obtained against the country in Britain by Irish firm, Process and Industrial Development (P&ID).
The first leg of the action is to file a stay of execution at the court when it resumes from vacation by month end.
