VAM News reports that the first batch of Nigerians who fled war-ravaged Ukraine arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja at 6:45am on Friday.
This reliable platform recalls that Nigeria’s foreign affairs ministry had on Wednesday announced that it expects to receive the first batch of evacuees from Ukraine today.
According to the foreign ministry’s statement, over 2,000 Nigerians fleeing the conflict in Ukraine, as of Tuesday night, had been received by Nigerian missions in countries around the area, including Slovakia, Romania, Poland and Hungary.

This number is more than two per cent of Ukraine’s 44 million population. CONTINUE READING…
