Buhari Government To Evacuate Nigerians Stranded In Warring Sudan By Road
[SAHARAREPORTERS] The government of President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed its plans to evacuate Nigerian nationals who are stranded in Sudan due to the ongoing conflict in the Northeast African country.

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama on Sunday night during a live programme on Channels Television said 5,500 Nigerians were ready for evacuation.

He said, "We have been given the cost estimate and all the details. They gave us a figure of 5,500 who are ready for evacuation.

"Obviously, what you need in a situation like this is a place where everybody can congregate before you start moving them out. Because the airports, as you pointed out in your report, it is out of commission. The only viable way out is by road.

"But of course, it is not totally safe so you are going to require the government to provide some security and a safe corridor out."
