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.
