The House of Representatives committee on Diaspora has received reports of Nigerians being treated in an undignified manner by the government of Austria.
The President of the National Association of Nigerian Community in Austria (NANCA), Engr. Oluyemi Ogundele, in an interactive session with the House committee, said Nigerians in Austria and their families suffer at the hands of the Austrian Government.
He appealed to the House committee to step in and help correct the impression that the government of Nigeria is corrupt as the Austrian Embassy engages a local lawyer to affirm the authenticity of documents presented from the government of Nigeria before it is accepted as genuine.
In her response, chairman of the committee, Representative Dabiri-Erewa said that the House will look into the complaints and meet with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as well as the Austrian authorities to ensure that the Nigerians in Austria get a reprieve.
