The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, has said only those documented with the Nigerian embassies would be evacuated, amid the crisis between Russia and Ukraine.
The minister said Nigerians without passports would be issued Emergency Travel Certificates to enable them return to Nigeria.
Onyeama made this known in a statement signed by the Spokesperson of the ministry, Mrs Francisca Omayuli.
The statement read in part: “The Federal Government of Nigeria wishes to inform that arrangements are being concluded for the evacuation of the first batch of Nigerian nationals willing to return home.
