Fg to evacuate over 5,500 trapped Nigerian students from Sudan by road

Disclosing this during a Channels Television programme, Politics Today, on Sunday, April 23, 2023, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, said the government has concluded arrangements to bring the trapped Nigerians back to the country by road.

This is coming as a result of the ongoing conflict in the Northeastern African country following a clash between a paramilitary group, Rapid Support Force (RSF) and Sudanese armed forces.

The fierce confrontation, which broke out on Saturday, April 15, 2023, has now entered its eighth day without showing any sign of abating. The development has prompted foreign nationals resident in Sudan to seek evacuation back to their countries for safety purposes.
