Speaking on NTA’s Good Morning Nigeria programme, Akinremi said contrary to some reports, the Nigerian government had been assisting some Nigerians to flee Ukraine even before the war began. He said at least 200 Nigerians had returned home, many of whom were given free tickets by the Nigerian government. He added, “The aspect we are not focusing on is those that have already arrived in Nigeria. There are a large number of people that have returned on their own. Over 200 people have arrived in the last one week and they were assisted by the government. Most of them had their tickets but we procured tickets for many of them. “Also at the state level, governors are also making arrangements along with the private sector.” He added that the government would assist them with COVID-19 protocols and other requirements.
