The Nigerian government has expressed deep concern over the dire humanitarian situation in Sudan and empathizes with the entire civilian population in the country, including the Nigerian students.

In a joint statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development, the Ministers noted with concern that some of these students are trying to find their way to contiguous borders of either Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, or Chad on their own.

The statement adds that in line with the directive, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons is working very closely with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Nigerian Missions in the countries bordering Sudan to immediately evacuate the students and other affected Nigerian citizens.

The Ministers, therefore, urge parents to advise their wards that while concerted efforts are being made to evacuate them, the students should endeavor to remain calm and maintain constant communication with officials of the Nigerian Embassy in Sudan.

They can reach the Embassy Officials at the following telephone numbers, +2348035866773,
+249961956284, +2348063636862, +249961956274, +2349066663493.

Furthermore, they are also advised to guard against undertaking the treacherous journey to the borders on their own, in view of the dangers involved.

The ministers emphasized that concrete plans are underway, to deploy, very shortly, air transport to evacuate all stranded Nigerian citizens through the identified safe transit areas back home to Nigeria in safety and dignity.
