FG Assures Safety, Evacuation of Stranded Nigerians from Sudan

The Federal Government has assured of the safety and evacuation of Nigerians stranded in crisis-ridden Sudan, saying it is “working round the clock” to make that happen.

Foreign Affairs Minister Geoffrey Onyeama, who gave the assurance said the country’s embassy has been mandated to open a platform to register the nation’s citizens in Sudan.

His comment comes amidst a wave of criticisms and backlash against the government many accuse of being nonchalant in the evacuation of its citizens from the North African country.

But Onyeama says the situation is not as simple as being portrayed.
