The Turkish envoy in statement entitled “open letter to Ms Abike Dabiri-Erewa, chairman, CEO of NIDCOM” made available to LEADERSHIP yesterday, said the claims made by the NIDCOM boss was a misinformation about the real issues in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC).

He pointed out that Ms. Dabiri-Erewa’s claim that ‘the TRNC is not safe for Nigerians, the killings took place on a daily basis and Nigerians should think twice before going to the Northern Cyprus’ was false.

He again denied this claim saying there are currently 50,561 international students from 145 countries and various teaching staff from 65 different countries, in the TRNC.

The NIDCOM boss had told reporters during a briefing that over 20 Nigerians have been killed over the years in the country and the Nigerian government could not do anything about it diplomatically because Northern Cyprus is not recognized by the international community as a country.
