FG MAKES ARRANGEMENT FOR EVACUATION OF NIGERIANS FROM SUDAN, GIVES N150 MILLION, BUSES

The Nigerian government has made arrangements to evacuate approximately 5,500 Nigerians, including students, who are stranded in Khartoum and other towns in Sudan, beginning on Wednesday. The government has allocated N150 million to hire 40 buses to transport its citizens from Sudan to Cairo, Egypt. The evacuation is taking place amidst a three-day ceasefire, which began at midnight on Tuesday, between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Force. The conflict between the two forces has claimed approximately 500 lives and has displaced millions of people. The federal government had planned the repatriation of Nigerian nationals on Tuesday but had to postpone it until Wednesday due to security concerns. The government has sought the assistance of Egyptian authorities to transport the stranded Nigerians out of Sudan through Luxor, Egypt. The National Association of Nigerian Students attempted to arrange transportation for some students through Ethiopia, but they were denied access by Ethiopian authorities. The Nigerian government has warned against self-evacuation, which could be risky.
