The Minister in an interview said that evacuation flights to Nigeria is expected to commence from Ukraine’s neighbouring countries this week, via Air Peace and Max Air.

Quoting the minister Ogunlesi said that “there are about 5,600 Nigerian students in Ukraine, and a total of around 8,000 Nigerians in all.

“There are currently ~1,000 Nigerians who have now crossed into Romania from Ukraine. They will be airlifted in the coming days. (People also crossing successfully into Poland & Hungary, and around 150 in Sumy, Ukraine, for whom Russia is closest border).

“Nigerian government will arrange chartered flights from Air Peace and Max Air from countries around Ukraine in the coming days.”

The Presidential spokesman also noted that not all the Nigerians in Ukraine may want to leave or be evacuated, citing that the FG is saying all those who want to, and are able to make their way out, to a neighbouring country (Ukraine airspace is currently closed to commercial flights), will be evacuated.
