Berlin, GERMANY \u2013 The Nigerian embassy in Germany has started a census to ascertain the accurate population of Nigerians living in the country, an official of the embassy has said.<\/p>\n

Mr Femi Rotimi, the Charge d\u2019 Affaires in the embassy made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria yesterday in Berlin.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been told that Nigerians here are about 40,000, but we have an ongoing project to take an accurate census of the Nigerian population in Germany.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we are handicapped in that too because quite a number of our citizens don\u2019t want to be involved, especially those who, for one reason or the other, are too afraid; they don\u2019t want to be identified.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not because they don\u2019t like Nigeria; but because identifying with us could expose them to the legal system of the host authority, especially those who don\u2019t have residency and those who have immigration problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rotimi said the embassy had also embarked on a campaign to sensitise Nigerians living in the country on the need to promote the image of Nigeria through good conduct.<\/p>\n

According to him, there is a vibrant Nigerian community in Germany who are engineers, doctors and ICT experts, among others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
