The Federal Government has advised Nigerians in Ukraine to move to the Hungarian Zahony border and Romanian Suceava, Tulcea, Satu Mare County & Maramures borders.
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Sunday stated that it was fully abreast of all the challenges Nigerians crossing into countries bordering Ukraine, especially the Polish border, were facing and it is taking adequate measures to assuage these challenges.
It was gathered that shortly after Russian President, Vladimir Putin’s half-hour speech declaring war on Ukraine, Annora Omolu, a Nigerian undergraduate at Kyiv Medical University heard a small blast by the window of her apartment.
The blast startled the 20-year-old who started simultaneously shaking and praying.
In the days before Putin’s speech, she had been calm because everything in Kyiv had seemed normal.
But as she remained glued to the television, her calmness quickly gave way to crippling fear.
At daybreak, she tried to book a flight to Lviv in western Ukraine, some 469 kilometres from the capital, to join other Nigerians there and cross to Poland. But the Ukrainian government had shut down its airspace.
Nigerian students fleeing from Ukraine are stranded at the Romanian border. Kindly forward this video until Nigerian Govt comes to their aid! Thank you.@MBuhari@FemAdesina @GarShehu@abikedabiri pic.twitter.com/a7irvfVaf8
