A senior diplomatic source who spoke to our correspondent, on the condition of anonymity said the Federal Government is citing economic crisis facing Nigeria as reasons for the planned closure of the affected embassies

“The closure of some of these embassies in the defunct Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR) cause for great concern,” the senior diplomat said adding that “Nigeria government need to review its plans to close all these embassies”.
