Ukraine Bound - Nigeria's Air Peace https://cdn.vanguardngr.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Air-Peace-1024x683.jpg Up to 5,000 Nigerians, mostly students, are to be airlifted out of the troubled European region by Nigerian airlines, Air Peace and Max Air. Nigeria’s Federal Government will from Wednesday, March 2, 2022, start evacuating Nigerian nationals who have fled Ukraine to neighbouring countries. Foreign Affairs Minister, Geoffrey Onyeama revealed this to the local TV station on Monday, February 28, 2022, saying President Muhammadu Buhari has approved funds for the airlines to evacuate Nigerians. Asked when the evacuation would begin he said “Wednesday hopefully…Air Peace and Max Air.'' Onyema said there are about 8000 Nigerians in Ukraine, 5,000 of whom are students. While briefing the House of Representatives on the evacuation efforts, the minister had earlier said over 1000 Nigerians had crossed to Romania from Ukraine. He said, “We made Romania the hub and over a thousand Nigerians have crossed there. Poland has about 250, Budapest in Hungary has a similar number, Slovakia is rising rapidly. It is also around 200. There are some Nigerians in a place called Sumy close to the Russian border. “I have been in touch with the ambassador. There are about 150 of them who are looking to cross into Russia and we have asked the ambassador in Russia to try and get a permit for them to transit to Russia hopefully, by Wednesday we will start deploying planes to start bringing the Nigerians,” https://www.africanews.com/2022/03/01/ukraine-russia-war-nigeria-to-start-evacuating-its-nationals/ |

fatatoulli:To hell with any clearance from Russia. Nigeria will not seek permission from anybody to evacuate her citizens from war zones. The most she can do is to INFORM any parties concerned of her intention to evacuate, plus flight schedules. Finish. |
