Nigerian students in Ukraine are currently helpless as Russia continues to attack the eastern European nation. The National Association of Nigeria Students in Ukraine sent a Save Our Soul message to President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday.

Seeking help for an immediate evacuation from Ukraine, Eunice Eleaka, acting President of the National Association of Nigerian Students in Ukraine, has pleaded with the Government to come to their rescue.

Stranded Nigerian students send SOS.

In the letter which was sent to the President titled, ‘Matter of Urgency Letter of Request to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria President Muhammadu Buhari’, on Thursday, the students stated cities occupied by Nigerians were under severe attack.

The letter reads, “Greetings, your Excellency. We are the executive body of the National Association of Nigerian Students Ukraine  (NANS-UKRAINE).

We write to you with regard to the current Russia-Ukraine conflict which has finally risen to its peak early this morning being February 24, 2022, as gunshots and explosives have pervaded the territories occupied by Nigerian citizens.

We 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.

It will be of great honour if our request is deliberately considered and met with urgency as it calls for. Forever, this kind and fatherly gesture will be engraved in our hearts. Thank you so much in anticipation, Mr. President.”

In response to the new development, the Federal Government has assured families with loved ones in Ukraine that immediately the airports in the country are reopened, it will assist in facilitating the evacuation of Nigerians who are willing to leave.
