Nigerian students in Sudan are to be evacuated back home because of the ongoing fighting between the Sudanese Army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) Abike Dabiri-Erewa said government was concerned about the fate of the students in the war-ravaged country.
She explained in a statement yesterday by NIDCOM’s Head of Media, Public Relations and Protocols Unit, Gabriel Odu, that the agency received a letter of solicitation by the National Association of Nigerian Students, Sudan, for evacuation of its members, especially those in Khartoum, the Sudanese capital.
Abike-Dabiri assured that the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) is already consulting with the Nigerian mission in Sudan and other relevant agencies on the matter.
She, however, urged the students and other Nigerians living in Sudan to be security conscious and calm.
