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.
