According to Nigeria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the repatriation of Nigerians stranded after attending the 2018 WorldCup in Russia begins today. 230 of them have been cleared to return via an Ethiopian Airline flight to Abuja.

The gist is over 150 stranded Nigerians were among the fans who travelled to the Russian Federation for the 2018 FIFA World Cup tournament that besieged the Embassy of Nigeria in Moscow on July 12th. Harsh conditions were awaiting them after they got stranded because of lack of funds for their upkeep, as well as allegations of shady airline travel agents cancelling their return tickets without their knowledge.

Buhari was said to have stepped in to intervene immediately news of the stranded Nigerians reached his ears earlier in the week. He on July 16 directed the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Aviation to evacuate the Nigerians to Abuja. Kudos to President Buhari for saving those stranded Nigerians from the cold streets of Russia. Buhari did well, didn't he?

Good

Thanks for not forsaking them, Thank you for the lovely and Great Gesture Buhari!
