FG Initiated Ban On Nigerian Domestic Workers In Kuwait - Spokesman

The Federal Government of Nigeria has clarified the situation regarding Nigerian domestic workers in Kuwait following conflicting reports over an employment ban. While initial reports suggested that the Kuwaiti government had imposed restrictions, a spokesperson for the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the Federal Government itself actually initiated the ban.

The clarification addresses widespread media confusion concerning the recruitment and presence of Nigerian domestic workers in the Gulf nation. Authorities have emphasized that the narrative of a foreign-imposed ban is inaccurate, pointing instead to internal government actions regarding the oversight of labor migration to Kuwait.
