Zubairu Dada: FG To Spend ₦3.5 Billion To Evacuate Nigerians In Ukraine by BeeBeeOoh(m): 5:33am On Mar 03, 2022
Mr Dada disclosed that the sum was approved at the monthly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting which was presided over by the Vice President on Wednesday.

President Muhammadu Buhari has approved N3.5 billion for the evacuation of Nigerians stranded in war-torn Ukraine, says Zubairu Dada, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.

Mr Dada disclosed that the sum was approved at the monthly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting which was presided over by the Vice President on Wednesday.

Already, the federal government has contracted Air Peace and Max airlines to carry out the evacuation using three aircrafts.

The evacuation is expected to take place in Romania, Hungary and Poland where many Nigerians fled for safety, in the wake of the violent attacks by Russian forces currently occupying Ukraine.

The ministry of foreign affairs earlier this week explained that citizens who sought refuge at the Nigerian embassies in the aforementioned countries would be provided accommodation as efforts were being made to return them home.

“Also, officials at Budapest, Hungary have received and accommodated 74 Nigerians safely, where they are being documented for subsequent travel arrangements back to Nigeria,” partly reads the statement issued by the ministry.

It added, “For now, movement to the Hungarian Zahony border and Romanian Suceava, Tulcea, Satu Mare County, and Maramures borders is advised, as they approved visa-free access to all Nigerians coming from Ukraine and arrangement for accommodation and feeding before evacuation is arranged.”

We need to appreciate this government for prioritizing the safety of its citizens both home and abroad. Yet some will say he is not doing enough. M

God bless President Muhammadu Buhari.

That is 8.4million USD approved.

At 1,000USD per person for one way flight from Europe, 1 million USD will fly 1000 people. At most 2million USD will fly 2000 people. 6.4 million USD to go to individual pockets.

Note that this calculation assumes commercial flight. For evacuation flights, terminal charges are excluded for the flights making it much less.

If you ain’t tired of Nigeria, something is wrong with you.

Keep quiet "Mr. Nigga"... I mentioned that in my own post. Even with peripheral costs, it isn't supposed to be valued at 1.75m per head...

I don't blame you though.

Fact is that, no Nigerian in his right frame of mind will get on that plane except a sick one who is tired of living abroad or someone who has been seeking a free flight home.
They will simply take you to Nigeria and dump you. That is, if they do not task you before allowing you to get in town. Nigerians are demanding that you move them to another country and that is for a good reason. Because home is worse off. They are right.
Buhari should call the Hungarian president and allot him that cash to provide basics for Nigerians pending...

I am still asking. Muslims do not celebrate birthdays but Aisha Buhari celebrated her 'birthday' in an Islamic country, Dubai and many Muslims attended. yet she is covering her hair like it is Islamic "obligation". Aren't they also obliged not to celebrate birthdays? I don't understand this.

Ideally there should be a breakdown of how money like this is spent by the FG to avoid unnecessary insinuation from the public.
