The Federal Government of Nigeria, has ordered the closure of four foreign missions abroad due to lack of funds.

Geoffrey Onyeama, the minister of foreign affairs said on Tuesday that the missions are Sri-lanka, Serbia, Ukraine and Czech Republic.

The minister who may exit President Muhmmadu Buhari's administration at the end of the month said the closure was because the government could not fund the missions anymore.

More to come.

Almost fantastic.

A mission is needed in Ukraine to care for the interest of perhaps thousands of Nigerian students there

The Nigerian government must get back to Ukraine ASAP!

Insensitivity, complacency and parochial decisions are enemies of international diplomacy.

Is the government not aware that aside from Russia, Ukraine has the highest number of Nigerians studying medicine abroad?

It is better to close them than have poorly maintained embassies.
