Nigerian students trapped in Ukraine send SOS

The Ukrainian chapter of the National Association of Nigerian Students has written a letter to President Muhammadu Buhari pleading for evacuation of its members.

Russia has invaded Ukraine and humanitarian crises are expected to be on the up as attacks enter day 2.

The students stated in the letter that cities occupied by Nigerians were under attack.
The letter signed by a NANS Executive in Ukraine, Eunice Eleaka, said the Russian-Ukraine crisis has got to its peak.

“We plead with you His Excellency – President MUHAMMADU BUHARI to please send for an immediate evacuation of the Nigerian students currently in Ukraine. We can only trust and wait on our great nation (Giant of Africa) in this perilous time,” the letter read in part.

“It would be of great honour, if our request is deliberately considered and met with urgency as it calls for. Forever this kind and fatherly gesture would be engraved in our hearts. Thank you so much in anticipation Mr. President.”

The federal government has said plans are underway to evacuate Nigerians trapped I the country.

But it ask Nigerians to take responsibility for their safety first.
