By our reporter| Another batch of Nigerians returned to Abuja on Sunday following their successful evacuation from Ukrain by the federal government.
The 306 Nigerians arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport via an Air Peace flight from Budapest, Hungary where they had crossed over to safety from Ukraine.
This is the 4th batch of returnees in the on-going evacuation approved by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The returning Nigerians were attended to on arrival by National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and other agencies.
The Director-General of NEMA, Mustapha Habib Ahmed, who welcomed them on behalf of the federal government, informed them that President Muhammadu Buhari had approved the evacuation back home to safety and also provided a sum of USD$100 to be given to each of them in aid of their transportation to their various locations.
The DG NEMA who was represented by the Director Search and Rescue Air Commodore Edward Adedokun, further informed the returnees that arrangement has also been made for a night’s accommodation for them to rest before continuing to their homes.
But those whose relatives had come to pick them up were free to go.
