Nigerian Students That Were Rescued From Sudan Arrive Egypt, Await Airlift.

The Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, on Thursday, confirmed the arrival of first set of stranded Nigerians in Sudan that are mostly students at the Aswan border in Egypt.

Dabiri-Erewa, who confirmed the development in a Twitter post , said the border was already closed when the students got there, adding that they would proceed to the airport in the morning.

“The first set has arrived at the Aswan border in Egypt but the border is already closed. They will leave early in the morning and then proceed to the airport,” the tweet read partly.

This was as the Federal Government on Thursday said that the Nigerian Air Force, Air Peace and other airlines had received clearance to fly to Egypt to pick up stranded Nigerians.
