Nigeria's Centre for Disease Control says 60 people evacuated from Ukraine have tested positive for Covid-19.
The new cases pushed the number of new daily infections to 118, the agency said in it's latest update.
The new cases were reported mainly in the capital, Abuja, and Lagos.
Earlier the country had reported only two new infections this week, the lowest daily figure ever since the outbreak of the disease in 2020.
The World Health Organization had warned that the Russia-Ukraine war may result in undetected transmission of Covid-19.
Over 700 Nigerians have returned home from Ukraine as the government hopes to evacuate approximately 5,000 citizens.
Many of them reportedly crossed into Romania, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia from where they will be ferried back to Nigeria.
