The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has advised
Nigerian students studying in Eastern Ukraine
to vacate the area due to violence and unrest
in the region. Ambassador Abdulaziz Dankono,
Under-Secretary in charge of Economy and
Consular in the ministry, gave the advice
today in an interview with NAN.
He said the advice became necessary
following the deteriorating security situation
in the war-torn region, stating that the
situation in the region is not getting better
because of the continuous fight between the
separatists and Ukrainian military.
He said the over 1000 students in that zone
had been advised to leave, but 146 students
are still left in the region. It will be recalled
that 9 Nigerian students were kidnapped by
the rebels last month, but luckily regained
their freedom after some days.
