Sudan: We Can’t Place 2,518 Returnee Students In Schools – NEMA - Latest News

Asked on the fate of the students in getting placement in Nigerian tertiary schools, the NEMA boss said it was beyond the jurisdiction of the agency.

The director-general stated this yesterday in Abuja while briefing journalists on the evacuation process which began on April 15 when the crisis broke out in Sudan. Giving a breakdown of the evacuees, the NEMA boss said, “A total of 23 sick evacuees were received. Out of these, 10 were treated on arrival by officials of NEMA, Port Health and other medical personnel within the airport, while 13 were referred to the 108 Nigerian Airforce Hospital Abuja.

“Among these is an eight-day old baby who was delivered while the mother was awaiting airlift from Port Sudan. The baby is currently being treated for jaundice at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada. While a patient with hand injury is being treated at Federal Medical Centre, Jabi, Abuja. We thank God Almighty that no life of any Nigerian was lost during the crisis so far and during the evacuation.
