Against the back drop of an announcement on Thursday, by Russian President Vladimir Putin, of the commencement of military operation in Ukraine, explosions were soon heard across the country. The foreign minister further warned that a “full-scale invasion” was underway.

Nigerian lawmakers, especially the house of representatives are however, concerned that, there are many Nigerian students in Ukraine who could be caught in the imminent crossfire

The motion was moved by representative Ahmed Munir on Thursday, during plenary.

However, some lawmakers fear that, the move is coming a bit too late as the evacuation should have been done long ago.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, agreed with a lawmaker, Leke Abejide, to have a talk with the Chairman of Air Peace, Allen Onyema to assist in the evacuation of Nigerians from Ukraine by Monday, February 28.

The House Committee on Foreign Affairs has been mandated to liaise with the Foreign Affairs Ministry over the matter.
