The Nigeria’s House of Representatives has ordered for immediate evacuation of Nigerians in Ukraine.
As a sequel to the adoption of the move by a member representing Kaduna, Ahmed Munir, the lower chamber of the National Assembly on Thursday charged the house to begin discussion with the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs in order to facilitate the immediate evacuation of Nigerians studying in Ukraine.
The House members were unanimous in their recognition of lives of Nigerians staying in Ukraine, adding that the situation in Ukraine at the moment called for a proactive action from the Federal Government.
Responding to the issue, the Speaker of the House, Femi Gbajabiamila, noted that the House would commence talks with Air Peace in order to ensure that Nigerians in Ukraine are rescued home.
Minister of foreign affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama in an interview said the federal government will arrange a special flight operation for Nigerians who are willing to be evacuated from Ukraine.
