The Federal Government, on Tuesday, expressed worry that Nigerian students in the war-torn Sudan were trying to find their way to borders of Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia or Chad on their own.
The government appealed to parents to advise their wards to remain calm and maintain constant communication with officials of the Nigerian embassy in Sudan for instructions and updates, while concerted efforts were being made to evacuate them.
The government stated this in a joint statement by the ministers of Foreign Affairs, and Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, signed by the permanent secretaries of the ministries.
