A civil society organisation, the Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC), has labelled the approval of $1.2 million for the evacuation of stranded Nigerian students in Sudan as a ‘fake’ evacuation plan and another avenue to embezzle money by the officials involved.
The Executive Director of CISLAC, Auwal Rafsanjani, who maintained this stance in a statement in Abuja on Saturday, expressed the group’s displeasure at the plight of the students who were desperate to get to their families going by the disheartening videos the students released of their ordeals during the evacuation process.
Rafsanjani who wondered why some of the students were made to pay money to the bus drivers conveying Nigerians out of troubled Sudan, alleged that the plight of the students was not of concern to the Nigerian officials who were only out to force the government, while the federal government had remained unperturbed as it failed to explain the situation.
