The Nigerian Government has announced intentions to evacuate its citizens in Ukraine following an invasion by Russia.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Geoffrey Onyeama in an interview with NTA said the Nigerian embassy in Kiev has been contacted to make arrangements to evacuate those wishing to return home from other areas including Donestk and Luhensk.
The minister assured Nigerians that the ministry is following unfolding events and promised to do everything to ensure the safety of Nigerians in Ukraine, particularly students.
The Russians have started attacking military installations in Ukraine amidst worries and accusations by the western world of imminent invasion which President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly denied.
