The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) has released a list of emergency contact numbers for Nigerians residing in parts of the Middle East following escalating tensions between Iran and Israel.
In a public notice posted on its official X handle, the Chairman of the commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, advised Nigerians in the affected region to keep the emergency numbers and reach out to the nearest Nigerian diplomatic mission for enquiries, guidance or urgent assistance.
The advisory comes amid growing concerns over the broader impact of the ongoing conflict in the region, which has heightened fears about the safety of foreign nationals across several Gulf and Levant countries.
NiDCOM said the emergency lines were established to provide urgent consular assistance to Nigerians as the security situation continues to evolve.
