The Federal Government says Nigerians living in the troubled Caribbean Island of St Vincent and the Grenadines need relief materials, not evacuation back to Nigeria.
This is contrary to earlier reports alleging that Nigerian nationals were stranded in St Vincent and the Grenadines, as a result of the recent volcanic eruption in the Caribbean island.
In a statement issued by the spokeman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ferdinand Nwonye, the Nigerian Mission in the Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago is in contact with the leadership of the Nigerian Community Association in St Vincent and the Grenadines, which is headed by Folu Ayanleke.

The Ministry also wishes to inform the general public that the appointment of Dr Levi Wilson Odoe, who is parading himself as Honourable Consul of St Vincent and the Grenadines was terminated on July 16, 2019.
It, therefore, advised Odoe to desist from parading himself as such, adding that the Nigerian High Commission in the Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago is abreast with the challenges faced by the students, and is working closely with the leadership of the Nigerian Community Association to provide necessary help to the affected students.
