Foreign Affairs Minister Geoffrey Onyeama said it should be the business of parents who sent their wards to school in Ukraine to evacuate them not that of President Muhammadu Buhari amid Russia’s invasion of the country.
Onyeama asserted this in an interview he granted Channels Television on Monday night, saying Nigerians who travelled as private citizens to Ukraine should ordinarily be responsible for their evacuation, not the federal government.
According to him, “But you see, were it not for the conflict itself that the military have gone in, and these people (Nigerian citizens) are now going out, these are private citizens that have gone to these countries in their private capacity.”
