The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has denied reports that the Government of Kuwait recently imposed a ban on the recruitment of Nigerian domestic workers, describing the claims as inaccurate.
The ministry, in a press release signed by its spokesperson, Kimiebi Imomotimi Ebienfa, on Saturday, said the suspension of recruitment and deployment of domestic workers to Kuwait was initiated years ago by the Nigerian Embassy in Kuwait City, and not a fresh measure by the host country.
The statement, with reference number MFA/PR/2026/183, was titled, ‘Ministry of Foreign Affairs Clarify Reports On The Alleged Ban On Nigerian Domestic Workers In The State Of Kuwait.’
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has taken note of recent media reports suggesting that the Government of Kuwait has imposed a ban on the recruitment of Nigerian domestic workers,” the statement read.
“The Ministry wishes to clarify that the reports DO NOT accurately reflect the current situation.
