The American University of Nigeria (AUN) has welcomed home, all Nigerian students who have been forced to return from Ukraine due to the war there, with a firm assurance that a safe, diverse, cosmopolitan and well-resourced university awaits them at home, should they wish to continue their education, which unfortunately was interrupted as a result of the war.

AUN disclosed this in a statement issued in Yola, Adamawa State, on Saturday, March 5, 2022 and signed by its Communications/University Spokesman, Daniel Okereke.

The statement reads: “The American University of Nigeria (AUN) warmly welcomes home, all Nigeria students who have been forced to return from Ukraine.

“Having fled the war in Europe to safely rejoin your families and loved ones under these traumatic circumstances must certainly have been a frightening time for you all. Like all of Nigeria, we rejoice that you have been able to return safe and sound.

“Your education has been violently and unexpectedly interrupted by international events beyond your control. Wondering what you should do next, we have one option for you to consider. If you desire to continue your education and research while you are back home here in Nigeria, you will find that AUN—a safe, diverse, cosmopolitan and well-resourced university, with an excellent digital library, organized on the US model of higher education—may meet your immediate needs.

“Here, we have students from every state in Nigeria, and from other African countries as well as the US, UK and Canada. They come to us for our excellent high-tech infrastructure, our high standards, and our sense of community. We invite you to take a Virtual Tour of American University of Nigeria – YouTube and to see if our programs will fit your educational and career needs.

“Welcome home, and please let us know if we can be of any help.”
