Allen Onyema, the Chairman of Air Peace, has urged Nigerians to think about pulling their investments from South Africa due to ongoing xenophobic attacks against African migrants. His call comes in light of repeated incidents that have raised concerns about the safety of Nigerians and other Africans in South Africa.

Aviation stakeholders in Nigeria have expressed worries regarding the growing number of state-owned airlines, cautioning that many of these ventures could face economic unsustainability due to escalating operational costs and inadequate aviation infrastructure. The concerns highlight the challenges facing the aviation sector in the country.

The Federal Government of Nigeria has condemned the killing of two Nigerian nationals in South Africa and has indicated that it may consider drastic diplomatic actions, including options beyond dialogue, if attacks against Nigerians continue. This statement reflects the government's concern over the safety of its citizens abroad, particularly in South Africa.

According to Onyema, Nigerian airlines are increasingly reliant on bank loans due to rising fuel costs. This statement follows the recent announcement by Dangote Petroleum Refinery, which reduced the price of aviation fuel (Jet A1) to N1,450 per litre. The situation underscores the ongoing challenges faced by domestic airlines in Nigeria amid fluctuating fuel prices.

Nigerians in South Africa protested at the Nigerian High Commission in Pretoria over delays in repatriation flights for citizens wishing to return home. This demonstration occurred after the federal government initiated the evacuation process amid rising concerns about xenophobic attacks, with a deadline set for June 30, according to African Examiner.

Nigeria's government has threatened to take action against South Africa following the murder of two Nigerians, accusing South African police of being complicit in these killings. This response comes amid ongoing concerns regarding xenophobic attacks against Nigerians in South Africa.
