Nigeria’s Foreign Minister, Yusuf Tuggar, has firmly ruled out the possibility of Nigeria accepting Venezuelan deportees or prisoners from the United States, arguing that the country already faces significant internal pressures.

We already have over 230 million people,” Tuggar explained, insisting that it would be unfair and unreasonable to further strain Nigeria’s resources by taking in deportees from another continent.
