Russia-Ukraine war: 306 more Nigerians arrive in Abuja from Hungary
The fourth batch of 306 Nigerians fleeing from the war in Ukraine has arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja from Budapest, Hungary.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the evacuees arrived via Air Peace Airline at 12:35 a.m. on Sunday.
The stranded Nigerians were evacuated following the intervention of the federal government with cooperation from countries that border Ukraine.
Welcoming the returnees, Director-General, National Emergency Management Agency, Mustapha Ahmed, said $100 was approved to be given to each of them.
Mr Ahmed, represented by Edward Adedokun, Director, Search and Rescue for NEMA, added that the money was meant to assist them with their transportation to their various locations.
He said that a one-night accommodation arrangement had been made for the returnees to rest before continuing their journey to their homes, while those whose relatives had come for them were free to go home.
NAN reports that NEMA staff along with representatives of other agencies involved in the reception at the airport, were on ground to receive the returnees.
