Huriwa asks Nigeria to accept foreign deportees from T …- Theconclaveng

[Press Release] Contrary to the official position according to which the Federal Government had firmly rejected a move reported by the United States to put pressure on Nigeria and other African nations in accepting Venezuelans deported many of whom are former prisoners, the association of writers for human rights of Nigeria (Huriwa) otherwise think just as the Nigerian government has encouraged to negotiate with President Donald John on conditions and conditions.

Huriwa has also declared that if the Rwanda had obtained over 4 billion pounds from the immediate conservative government in the United Kingdom for the resetting of migrants deported from the United Kingdom to live briefly in Rwanda, then the Nigerian government can negotiate for a total 5 billion dollar package that the United States should go to organize houses and detention structures in the forests before the Sambisis forests deportation to vanes.

“We urge President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to conclude an agreement through a negotiation with the government of President Trump on the question of the storage of warehouses to be expelled from the United States who are not Nigerians. The Nigerian government should ask for technical and financial payments, therefore the detention neighborhoods are developed by the reasons for detention that should be the detention structures that should be the detention structures that must be brazen in the process of detention.

Huriwa has suggested that if Nigeria could show this flexibility and readiness to welcome only some of these people to be expelled from the United States and this passage could make the government of the United States of America to remove the restrictions that imposed on the recommended visa Nigeria Visa Lancente who emits conditions for the Nigerians by the United States.

Huriwa recalled that the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, clarified the position during a recent interview on politics today on the television of the channels, stating that Nigeria would not take prisoners from another country.

“It will be difficult for a country like Nigeria to accept Venezuelan prisoners. We already have enough problems,” said Tuggar.
“We cannot accept Venezuelani deportees in Nigeria, for having shouted aloud. We already have 230 million people.”

The minister warned that giving in to these requests could constitute a dangerous precedent, saying:

“I think it would be unfair to insist that Nigeria accepts 300 Venezuelan deportees. It could only be the beginning.”

The minister also responded to the decision of the United States Embassy to reduce the validity of the visa for Single-entry Nigerians, three months, stating that Nigeria continues to commit with the American authorities on the matter.

“We emit seen to several years of entry to the five -year -olds of the Americans. So we remind them that it should be mutual,” said Tuggar.

He explained that Nigeria’s new electronic visas system has been introduced to improve processing efficiency and reduce the delays associated with visa-on-ear procedures.

“Our visa categories vary according to the traveler. Many Americans still receive long -term views. It is not a general three -month rule,” he added.

Huriwa, however, thinks that nothing should be launched into stone on condition that politics can produce economic benefits for long -term Nigeria just as the rights group has said that the country can explore the opportunities to attract investments by the United States government to develop the moderate maximum security in Sambisa forests, together with some life neighborhoods, which would have been expelled from the United States under the agreements negotiated between the Nigera and the USA.
