Govt  to relocate Nigerian students from Sudan

Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) Abike Dabiri-Erewa said the government was concerned about the fate of the students in the war-ravaged country.

She explained in a statement yesterday by NIDCOM’s  Head of Media, Public Relations and Protocols Unit,   Gabriel Odu,  that the agency received a letter of solicitation by the National Association of Nigerian Students, Sudan, for evacuation of its members, especially those in Khartoum, the Sudanese capital.

She, however, urged the students and other  Nigerians living in Sudan to be security conscious and calm.

Uganda and Japan are also making arrangements to evacuate their citizens from Sudan.

Quatar-based Al Jazeera reported earlier that fighting intensified yesterday morning with bombardment by warplanes in the centre of Khartoum.

The fireworks led to a call by United Nations aid chief Antonio Guterres on the Sudanese Army and the  RSF to implement a three-day ceasefire marking the Eid al-Fitr holiday.

Guterres said the ceasefire would allow trapped civilians to escape and access medical treatment, food, and other essential supplies.

The leaders of Sudan’s rival military forces have refused to negotiate with each other six days after fresh fighting commenced in the third-largest African country.JAMB Result
