The Federal Government has said it is yet to evacuate Nigerian students who are stranded in warring Sudan

It rather asked them to remain indoors while it continues making arrangements for their safe evacuation from the troubled country.

This was contained in a statement from the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in Khartoum, signed by the Charge D’ Affairs, H.Y Garko.

It advised the students to disregard the notice circulated by the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) in Sudan, asking students to converge at the African International University, NANSS office, and El-Razi University, for evacuation or bring $100 or $200 for evacuation.

The Federal Government has deemed it unsafe to embark on a journey toward the borders of Sudan without security clearance and guarantee from the Sudanese authorities.

However, the Embassy reassured approximately 4000 currently trapped Nigerian students that their safety and well-being are of priority concern.

The ongoing armed conflict between rival factions of the military government of Sudan began on 15 April 2023, when clashes broke out across the country, mainly in the capital city of Khartoum and the Darfur region.

As of 23 April, at least 420 people have been killed and more than 3,700 injured.

The Embassy of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in Khartoum is the authority on this matter and urges Nigerian students to take the necessary precautions.

The Embassy is optimistic that Nigerian students will take heed of their advice and remain safe during this tumultuous time.
