Covid-19: House of reps consider repatriation of Chinese living in Nigeria

They made the resolution at a resumed plenary following their return from recess which lasted about five weeks.

 

This followed the poor treatment of Nigerians in China, especially those living in Guangzhou city in the Asian country.

 

During the plenary the lawmakers considered a motion on the “Maltreatment and Institutional Acts of Racial Discrimination against Nigerians Living in China by the Government of China.

 

The lawmakers mandated the House Committees on Interior, Nigeria Content Development and Monitoring, as well as Commerce, to take up the assignment.

 

The committees were asked to investigate the Nigeria Immigration Service, Corporate Affairs Commission, Nigerian Content and Development Monitoring Board, and any other relevant Ministry, Department or Agency, to check the validity of all immigration documents of every Chinese national in Nigeria.

 

The House also directed the committees to probe the expatriate quota of all the Chinese businesses in Nigeria to ascertain the number of illegal and undocumented immigrants in the country and ensure they were repatriated to China to regularize.
