The Federal Government has urged Nigerians in Ukraine to
remain calm but very vigilant and be responsible for their security and safety
in the country.
A statement issued by Nigerian Embassy, in Kiev, urged
Nigerian students seeking temporary relocation to seek proper clearance and
guarantee form before relocating.
Recall that Russian troops launched a wide-range attack on
Ukraine on Thursday, as President Vladimir Putin cast aside international
condemnation and sanctions.
Reacting, the Embassy explained that any Nigerian who
considers the crisis as emotionally disturbing, should temporarily relocate to
anywhere they consider safe by “private arrangement.”
The Embassy advised all Nigerians to ensure that they
validate all their resident documents for ease of return to the country when
desired.
“The attention of the Embassy has been drawn to the
declaration of state of emergency and Martial law on the entire territory of
Ukraine except the Donestsk and Luhansk regions by the government of Ukraine,
effective from midnight of February 23, 2022, for a period of 30 days, as well
as the latest development on the Ukraine-Russia crises.
“In view of the development, the embassy urges Nigerian
Nationals resident in Ukraine to remain calm but very vigilant and be
responsible for their security and safety.
“The embassy wishes to add that should any Nigerian National
consider the situation as emotionally disturbing, such National may temporarily
relocate to anywhere considered safe by private arrangement. They should,
however, ensure that they do all the needful to validate all their resident
documents for ease of return to the country when desired.
“Students seeking temporary relocation are enjoined to seek
proper clearance and guarantee form from their respective institutions during
this period.
“For those who are still considering it appropriate to
remain in the country, be rest assured that the embassy remains open for its
consular duties and responsibilities at all times.”
