FG Says Kuwait’s Restriction on Nigerian Domestic Workers Is Not a New Ban

FG Says Kuwait’s Restriction on Nigerian Domestic Workers Is Not a New Ban

The Federal Government has said Kuwait did not recently impose a new ban on recruiting Nigerian domestic workers. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs explained that Nigeria’s embassy in Kuwait had requested a suspension years ago over concerns about the welfare, protection and working conditions of Nigerian domestic workers. It said the measure remains in place to protect Nigerians seeking work in Kuwait. Nigeria and Kuwait are now working on a framework for fair recruitment, legal safeguards and decent working conditions.

What practical protections are in place now for Nigerian domestic workers in Kuwait, beyond the earlier suspension request?

So what safeguards currently apply to Nigerian domestic workers there, beyond calling it not a new ban?

It is important that the clarification still centres welfare and protection concerns, not just whether a ban is new.

Welfare matters, yes, but whether this is truly a new restriction also affects how people understand the situation.

Calling it an old suspension may clarify the timeline, but it does not automatically answer the underlying safety concerns.

The ministry should keep publishing clear guidance for applicants, including current recruitment status and worker-protection expectations.
