1st Nigerians to hoist flag on the highest mountain in Eastern Europe of Ukraine .

 

History was made on the Saturday,25th sept 2011 when two Nigerians Chinedu Agunanne and Iroko Emamuzo who are final year Pharmacy students of Ternopil State Medical University in Ternopil City of Ukraine, climbed to the highest peak of Hoverla mountain (Ukrainian: Говерла, Hoverla; Hungarian: Hóvár; Romanian: Hovârla; Goverla, Czech and Slovak: Hoverla, Polish: Howerla, Russian: Говерла ) which is 2,061 m, and the highest mountain in Ukraine and part of the Carpathian Mountains.

Being so happy about what they had achieved, Chinedu decided to leave a mark by tearing his shirt which had Nigerian 48th Independence inscribed on it to show tourists from around the world that Nigerians were there. Hoverla mountain is one of the most visited spots in the  Carpathian Mountains system by tourists around the world.
