The first batch of Nigerians evacuated from Ukraine have arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, via Max Air.
Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the Chairman of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), confirmed this in a tweet on Friday.
According to Dabiri-Erewa, the Nigerians arrived in the country from Bucharest, Romania.
“First batch of Nigerians from Ukraine arrived at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja from Romania at 7:10 am,” she wrote.
The development comes two days after President Muhammadu Buhari approved $8.5 million for the immediate evacuation of 5,000 Nigerians stranded in Ukraine.
