The Minister of State for Foreign Affairs of Nigeria, Zubairu Dada, disclosed this to State House Correspondents shortly after the Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Dada who spoke alongside the Minister of humanitarian affairs, disaster management and social development, Sadiya Farouk, said the approval followed a joint memo presented by both ministries at the Council meeting. According to him, the Federal Government has contracted Air Peace and Max Air airlines to avail three aircraft to facilitate the evacuation.
He said the evacuees include 940 from Romania, 150 from Slovakia and 350 from Poland who have registered to leave. On the amount approved, Dada explained that “The ministry of humanitarian affairs wrote a memo to the president seeking funding to enable us to conduct this exercise. The memo was to the tune of $8.5m which Mr. President has graciously approved. That provision entails an arrangement to evacuate no less than 5,000 Nigerians.

Nigeria just have a way of spoiling everything with their corrupt antics. That we want them to be evacuated (the right thing to do) does not mean you should play on our intelligence. What's is 8.5million Dollars for?
$8.415 million dollars…well, let me keep quiet
We re in a very serious trouble, buhari doesn't know how to count. I'm sure that we don't have 1 million Nigerians in Ukraine.
This guy will not talk about Asuu nah to sign money for war way dey no call am
😂😂😂😂😂😂
For what?
Huspoppi!!
Ukraine to Nigeria be is $500 per head . Assuming $ is 450 that's 225,000 per person . 3.5 billion divided by 225,000 we have approximately 14,000 Nigerians in Ukraine . You gerrit ?
Nice one sir

I read that Tambuwal used USD 37,000 to evacuate some 92 indigenes of his State. This math comes to USD 402 per person. So, how come MBuhari and his action people want to spend USD 8.5 million to evacuate (with jara) 10,000 Nigerians? Na so we import bad PMS and nothing happened
3.5 Billion!! Na the whole European Union una wan evacuate? God abeg o!
