The Federal Government is weighing a financial support package for 1,490 Nigerian nationals evacuated from South Africa due to xenophobic attacks, as reintegration efforts begin.

The Nigerian Senate has rejected calls to nationalize South African firms MTN and DStv as retaliation for xenophobic attacks, opting instead to task its Foreign Affairs Committee with an investigation.

The Nigerian Federal Government has condemned the killing of two nationals in South Africa and called for a swift investigation to bring the perpetrators to justice.
