Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Amid the Russia-Ukraine war, President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to defend Nigerians in any part of the world.<\/p>\n

The President gave the assurance on Thursday in Nairobi, Kenya, at a Townhall Meeting with a group of Nigerians.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe shall continue to defend the interests of all Nigerians wherever they may be. We have demonstrated this over time. We did it in Libya, South Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have just commenced doing the same in Ukraine, where thousands of our citizens, especially students, are trapped by the war between Russia and Ukraine\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

Buhari commended the diasporans in Kenya for the unity that exists among them, and peace with their host communities.<\/p>\n

The leader, represented at the parley by Foreign Affairs Minister, Geoffery Onyeama, urged them to respect the laws and be good ambassadors of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

He noted that the determination to forge a partnership with the \u2018Ambassadors-at large\u2019 led to the establishment of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM).<\/p>\n

Buhari says his administration is forging ahead with the provision of critical infrastructure despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and terrorists.<\/p>\n
