The Nigerian government has issued a travel warning to its residents living in/visiting Ukraine, advising them that they are "responsible for their personal security and safety."
The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) issued an advisory via Twitter on Thursday, February 24, 2022, drawing attention to the imposition of a State of Emergency and Martial Law on the entire territory of Ukraine.
The statement read in part, "the embassy urges Nigerian nationals resident in Ukraine to remain calm but be very vigilant and be responsible for their personal security and safety.”
The document, titled ‘New Travel Advice By The Embassy of Nigeria, Ukraine’, directed emotionally affected nationals to make private arrangements, relocate to safe spaces, and ensure that all their travel documents are intact for a possible return if desired.
Nigerian students in Ukraine have also been directed to seek clearance from their institutions on the way forward for them, with respect to their studies.
Addressing nationals who wish to remain in the country, the embassy noted that it will remain open for regular duties and responsibilities.
