Nigerians stranded in Sudan will be evacuated by road, according to Foreign Affairs Minister Geoffrey Onyeama.
Many are stranded in the North African country following a power tussle that has resulted in a crisis.
The development has led to calls for the evacuation of the nation’s citizens. He explained that “Our situation is particularly challenging because the numbers are so great. Some the countries like the US and European countries have started evacuating.
But what they’ve been evacuating were actually their diplomatic staff. They haven’t been able to start evacuating their citizens there.
We can’t evacuate all our diplomatic staff at the moment because they need to also coordinate the evacuation of all those students that we’re talking about.”
