The federal government has procured 40 buses at the cost of $1.2 million to evacuate stranded Nigerians now trying to get out of war-torn Sudan. The minister said that talks have been concluded with the Sudanese government to enable the evacuees to be moved to Cairo, Egypt. So we’ve been able to overcome a number of challenges and have started the process which we’re very happy about. We have huge transporter luxury buses made available to us to transport to the Egyptian border. The Minister added: “Now, regarding the evacuation process, what we are primarily responsible for, is to ensure the safe evacuation from Egypt, of all the Nigerians who want to leave.
