The federal government has appealed to Nigerian students in Sudan to remain indoors while it continues making arrangements for their safe evacuation from the troubled country.
A statement from the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in Khartoum, signed by the Charge D’ Affairs, H. Y. Garko, advised the students to disregard the notice circulated by the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) in Sudan.
The circulated notice called on students to converge at the African International University, NANSS office, and El-razi University, for evacuation or to bring 100 dollars or 200 dollars for evacuation.
The federal government said it was still dangerous to embark on a journey toward the borders of Sudan without security clearance and guarantee from the Sudanese authorities.
The Embassy also reassured the Nigerian students that their safety and well-being were of priority concern.
