The High Commission promotes and protects Nigeria’s national and foreign policy interest, particularly its foreign trade, investment and tourism interests throughout Trinidad and Tobago as well as in other Caribbean particularly Barbados, Suriname, Guyana, Dominica and . In this regard, the High Commission is directly responsible to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Abuja and through it, to the Government.

How Can We Help You?

We:
Can give you guidance when in trouble with the primary aim of helping you to help yourself.
Can help arrange for the issuance of a replacement passport (for example if yours is lost or stolen).
Can help you to contact relatives or friends back home to request financial assistance, if you get into financial difficulties.

Can provide you with documentation to repatriate bodies to Nigeria.

Cannot give you legal advice or get you out of prison.
Cannot get you better conditions in prison or hospital than a local national would receive.
Cannot give you a loan. In a real emergency, family and friends in Trinidad and Tobago must arrange to deposit equivalent funds into the Treasury before financial assistance is extended.
