Letter of Request to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019 on Thursday, the students said cities occupied by Nigerians were under attack.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\nThe letter read in part, \u201cGreetings your Excellency. We are the executive body of National Association of Nigerian Students Ukraine (NANS-UKRAINE).<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201cWe write to you with regards to the current Russia-Ukraine conflict which has finally risen to its maximum early this morning being February 24, 2022 as gunshots and explosives have raided the territories occupied by the Nigerian citizens.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201cWe plead with your Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari, to please send for an immediate evacuation of the Nigerian students currently in Ukraine. We can only trust and wait on our great nation (Giant of Africa) in this perilous time.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201cIt would be of great honour, if our request is deliberately considered and met with urgency as it calls for. Forever this kind and fatherly gesture would be engraved in our hearts. Thank you so much in anticipation Mr President.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\nEleaka, who has found her way out of Ukraine, told Pointblanknews.com that many other Nigerians were stuck because of the cost of the flight tickets.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\nShe called on Nigeria to come up with a proper evacuation strategy like India.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\nEleaka said, \u201cI left before the invasion. The news on possible invasion has been out there for a while now. My parents got really worried and got me a flight ticket to return home.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201cI\u2019m sure most students really wanted to leave too, but the flight tickets got really expensive and the need to leave then seemed impromptu. I heard some cities still had their classes offline but we were ensuring every school goes online.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201cBut all the same, I feel the most cogent reason for everyone is the flight ticket price.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\nSpecifically, she said the Indian embassy has set up two different camps to evacuate Indians who are stranded in Ukraine.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Eunice said, \u201cThe Embassy of India in Poland has set up a camp office in Krakowiec on the Polish-Ukraine border. This office will facilitate transit via Poland back to India of Indian nationals stranded in Ukraine. They gave out telephone numbers of the officials in charge.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\nEarlier, on Thursday, the Federal Government expressed shock over the invasion of Ukraine by Russia.<br \/>\nThe government also assured Nigerians living in Ukraine of their safety, stating that measures are underway to evacuate Nigerians living in the country.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hi\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ajx\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gA gt acV\">\n<div class=\"gB xu\">\n<div class=\"ip iq\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several Nigerians mostly students\u00a0 who are in Ukraine are currently stranded even as Russia continues to attack the eastern European nation.
