The Federal Government on Tuesday moved to evacuate about 5,500 stranded Nigerians out of warring Sudan with buses through the Egyptian town of Luxor.

In a letter dated April 25, 2023 and signed by the Charge D’ Affairs, Haruna Garko, the Embassy of Nigeria, Sudan made a request for buses to convey students from Khartoum to Cairo on Tuesday at 6 am.

The letter partly read:

I am directed to request the services of your 200 seater buses to convey 3500 Nigerian students from Khartoum to Cairo Egypt on 25 April 2023, at 6 am in the morning.”

However, as of the time of filing this report, Nigerian students were yet to leave Khartoum for Cairo.

Speaking to our correspondent on Tuesday,

A student told newsmen saying:

We are still in Khartoum. The Embassy has moved the time to 12pm. I am afraid that the Embassy might change their mind.”

Also, the President of the Jigawa State Students Association in Sudan, Umar Abubakar, said, “We are yet to move.”

A forwarded message sent to the students and confirmed by reporters said:

Hello all. Please due some logistics issues there will be delay for the take up as earlier announced.

“Once arrangements are concluded, we will announce.

“Therefore, people should endeavour to stay where they are in the interim. But we assure you we are going by the grace of God.

“Thank you for your understanding.”

It was said that FG was seeking Egypt’s support so that the stranded Nigerians could be moved to Luxor.
