Recently, the social security in Nigeria is still not stable, with theft, robbery, kidnapping and other cases occurring from time to time, and the overall security risk is relatively high. The Embassy in Nigeria and the Consulate General in Lagos reminded Chinese-funded enterprises and Chinese citizens in Nigeria to attach great importance to their own safety and take measures to prevent all kinds of risks.
First, put an end to paralysis and fluke mentality, firmly establish the bottom line thinking, and strengthen safety awareness. Pay close attention to the security dynamics around camps, residences and residences, pay close attention to local media reports and Wechat messages such as chambers of commerce, overseas Chinese groups and fellow townsmen associations, and get timely security reminders.
2. In view of outdoor high-risk operations, we should strengthen security and contingency plan, eliminate night operations and ensure the safety of employees and property. Personnel going to high-risk areas should do a good job of risk assessment in advance and strengthen safety precautions.
III. Minimize outgoing activities. If you really need to go out, you must strengthen the travel security measures, do not disclose your whereabouts in advance, and choose multiple routes to use alternately, so as to avoid being found out by lawless elements; do not go out at night or alone, do not go to remote areas with poor public security, and strengthen self-protection.
Four, malaria, cholera, typhoid fever and other diseases are more serious. Chinese citizens in Nepal should be the first responsible person for their own health, actively understand the knowledge of disease prevention, and strengthen personal protection. If you are not feeling well, go to the regular hospital for medical examination in time.
Five, Nepal's new immigration policy will be implemented soon. Please apply for a visa in strict accordance with the regulations. If the Nepalese law enforcement department over-enforces the law and infringes upon its basic rights and interests, it may file an administrative lawsuit with the law enforcement department, and at the same time, it may provide the embassy and consulate with specific information of the case (such as the report number) and evidence.
6. In case of emergency, be sure to put life, health and safety in the first place, keep calm, do not argue, do not fight, try to sort out the evidence and call the police in time after getting out of danger.
In case of emergency, please call the police and contact the embassy or consulate in time.
