President Muhammadu Buhari in South Africa said authorities should be more pro-active in detecting early signals of violence between competitors, while migrants and companies should adhere to the local laws of host countries.
The President’s Spokesman Garba Shehu, in a statement in Abuja said the Nigerian leader stated this when he responded to questions during a news conference at the Union Building, alongside his host, President Cyril Ramaphosa.
He called for more tolerance, vigilance and heightened security to ensure safety of citizens, noting competition heralded by globalisation, especially with ease in migration, will only get more intense for businesses. Earlier in his remark, the President condemned attacks on Nigerians and the burning of their properties in South Africa, describing it as unacceptable.
In his remarks, President Ramaphosa said the attacks on foreigners in South Africa, including Nigerians, were regrettable, assuring that his government would work hard to see an end to such attacks. He equally condemned reprisal attacks in Nigeria.
