Mr Buhari stated, “We have demonstrated this over time, as we have had cause to evacuate our citizens in danger abroad.”
“We did it in Libya, South Africa, and we’ve just started doing it in Ukraine, where tens of thousands of our citizens, particularly students, are trapped by the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine,” he added.
Mr Buhari, who was represented at the event by Foreign Affairs Minister Geoffery Onyeama, praised Nigerians in Kenya for their unity and peace with their host communities, urging them to follow the laws and be good ambassadors for the country.
