\u00a0Abuja \u2013 Only two Nigerians were affected by the recent earthquake and tsunami which devastated parts of\u00a0 Japan, Nigeria\u2019s envoy to Japan,\u00a0 Mr Godwin Agbo,\u00a0 has said.<\/p>\n

In a statement mailed to the News Agency of Nigeria from Tokyo, Agbo said the affected Nigerians had already been evacuated\u00a0 and were receiving care from the mission\u2019s\u00a0 staff.<\/p>\n

He said since the outbreak of the earthquake, the embassy had established emergency contact numbers and e-mails on its website for Nigerians in Japan to reach the mission.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cThe embassy has also been in constant touch with the host authorities in Tokyo in order to monitor developments on the leakages at the damaged nuclear power plants in the northern part of Japan.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201d So far, no Nigerian citizen has been affected by the radiation leakage at the nuclear plant located about 280 kilometres\u00a0 from Tokyo,\u201d Agbo stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said the embassy had also\u00a0 been in regular contact with Nigerians through their associations.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The envoy said at a recent meeting with the presidents of various Nigerian associations in Japan, he had advised Nigerians to relocate immediate family members\u00a0 home or to southern\u00a0 Japan until the situation stabilised.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cThey were also advised to inform members affected by the earthquake and tsunami to use the facilities provided by the host government at the various evacuation centres\u00a0 for now,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Agbo said he also advised Nigerians to stay outside the 30 km radius of the affected areas as advised by the host government.<\/p>\n

\u00a0He said temporary accommodation facilities had been established within the embassy building to accommodate Nigerians who might be moving to Tokyo from the affected areas.<\/p>\n
