Abike Dabiri-Erewa, chairperson of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission , says the federal government has asked for a safe corridor for the evacuation of Nigerian students trapped in Sudan.
She said the students would be transported by buses to the borders of Egypt before being airlifted to Nigeria. “So, I know that the National Association of Nigerian Students actually sent a message and told all of them come somewhere so we can pay some fees but that was a dangerous move so they’ve all returned back to base and there’s a contact from the Nigerian mission in Sudan where there will be coming to.“So, as soon as the buses are ready, like I said, most likely by tomorrow morning, they will convey them safely and that is the keyword.”from Sudan’s army and the RSF for a safe passage.
“So we want to ensure that there’s safety and security, so by tomorrow morning, we believe that they’ll now go en route to Egypt and get to two borders there and they’ll be in a safe location to return home.“Our ministry of foreign affairs has contacted both sides of the divide and we have asked for a safe corridor for our students and that means to give us security.
