Woye@woye1· Our bonafide Nigerianstudents that fled Ukraine to Romania would be allowed to continue their education inRomania if they desire . While they are inRomania , they would be fed and accommodated by APC’s FG for one month. We are spending unplanned budget. Na to borrow again.
Adewale Adeyemi@OfficialDewale· For every Nigerianstudent whose academic calendar was truncated by the #UkraineRussiaWar … The Nigerian High Commission has a respite for you inRomania to continue schooling in Bucharest. God bless the Foreign Affairs Ministry led by Onyeama.
