Sudan: Why We Paid As High As $1.2 Million For Buses To Evacuate Nigerians – FG Opens Up

The federal government has reacted to the outcry in some quarters over the exorbitant price it had to pay for the buses hired to evacuate Nigerians from Sudan to Egypt due to the ongoing crisis in the country.

The government in a statement on Saturday explained that it paid the sum of $1.2 million to hire the buses because negotiations were done in a condition of war and there were competing demands for the same buses from other countries.
