The Federal Government has condemned the ongoing tensions and reported attacks involving the Houthi militia in Yemen and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu who disclosed the country’s position strongly called on all parties to exercise maximum restraint, immediately de-escalate the situation, and refrain from any further actions that could inflame hostilities or endanger civilian lives and regional peace and stability.
A statement by the ministry’s Spokesperson, Kimiebi Ebienfa, said the Federal Government urged the parties concerned to prioritise dialogue, diplomacy, and peaceful means of resolving differences in accordance with the principles of the United Nations Charter and international law.
According to the statement, Nigeria believes that any further escalation of the conflict risks undermining regional security and stability.
