The Federal Government of Nigeria has started the evacuation of Nigerian students in Sudan via luxurious buses headed to Egypt. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), shared photos of students in Sudan queuing up to board buses to Egypt enroute to Nigeria.
According to reports, the Nigerian evacuation team in Sudan received some buses yesterday to transport Nigerian Students to nearby borders in Egypt. The students will depart today and subsequently be airlifted from Egypt to Nigeria.
Leadership reports that a set of five 200-seater buses drove into the meeting point of International University Of Africa, Khartoum, with two Hilux trucks of security personnel and a small bus of embassy. This move follows a meeting between the Director-General of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Mustapha Habib Ahmed, and the Nigerian Ambassador to Egypt, Amb. Nura Rimi, to prepare for the reception of Nigerians being moved from Sudan to Egypt.
The evacuation exercise comes amidst growing safety concerns for Nigerians in Sudan. The ongoing political and economic instability in Sudan has created an unsafe environment for Nigerian students, prompting the Federal Government to take decisive action to ensure their safety.
The evacuation of Nigerians in Sudan is a testament to the government’s commitment to the safety and welfare of its citizens, especially those living in other countries. The government’s proactive approach to the situation in Sudan highlights the importance of diplomatic relations and the need for prompt action to protect citizens in foreign lands.
