About the Consulate

Serving Lebanon's oldest African diaspora

The Lebanese community in Nigeria is one of the largest outside the Arab world, with roots going back to 1890 when the first Lebanese immigrant, Elias Khoury from Miziara, arrived in Lagos. Today that community numbers between 30,000 and 100,000 people, concentrated in Lagos, Kano, Ibadan, Port Harcourt, and Abuja.

The Consulate General is led by His Excellency Mansour Chaya, a career diplomat with extensive international experience, who oversees consular services for South West and South South Nigeria.
