It stated that the evacuees arrived the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport at 8.50 p.m local time, of which the majority of the returnees are the #SumyStudents from Ukraine.

Many Nigerians and other nationals have fled Ukraine into nearby countries since Russia launched a full-scale war on its neighbour on Feb. 24.

The Nigerian government approved the release of 8.5 million dollars for the immediate evacuation of at least 5,000 Nigerians fleeing the Russian-Ukrainian conflict zone to Poland, Romania, Hungary and Slovakia.
