Tension from parents and relations may start coming down as the first batch of Nigerians from Ukraine have arrived in Abuja. The evacuees are mainly students.
The passengers, numbering about 450 from Romania, landed at the private jet terminal of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport by 7:10 am (WAT) via a Max Air flight on Friday. They are mostly students who fled Ukraine to Romania following Russia’s invasion of the Eastern European country.
They were received by government officials and are expected to undergo documentation after which they will head home and self-isolate in line with the COVID-19 protocols.
It is the prayer of Nigerians that their citizens in Ukraine will return in Nigerians without hiccups.
