Mr Adetola Olubajo, new President of Nigeria Union, South Africa, says the body will discuss with the Federal Government and its South African friends on the safety of Nigerians in that country.
“The killing of Nigerians in South Africa is worrisome and unacceptable because the statistics increase daily.
“We have decided to engage the Federal government and its South African counterpart to work with them and ensure the safety of our people.
“The union will put pressure where necessary because our people are not happy with the situation,” he said.
“The union has adopted some safety measures aimed at sensitizing our people on dangers of crime.
“We have decided to engage various Nigerian organisations on the need to speak with one voice on issues that affect them.
“It is time for us to unite for a common purpose of having a safe environment for Nigerians in South Africa,” the President said.
“The department will be headed by a Nigerian practicing attorney in South Africa and he has already started work,” he said.
