Another 198 Nigerians evacuated from Sudan
One-hundred-and-ninety-eight stranded Nigerians evacuated from Sudan arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja on Friday around 12:09pm.
The 160 adults and 38 infants and children’s evacuees were evacuated by the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) from Port Sudan.
They were airlifted by Tarco Airline, a Sudanese-based airline. So far, the agency has successfully evacuated 2,858 from Port Sudan and Egypt.
The Director General of NEMA, Mustapha Ahmed, explained why the evacuation process took longer than expected.
He said the process was stalled because the crisis in Sudan escalated and the refusal of domestic airlines to go to Sudan.
The DG added that Tarco airline which finally agreed to airlift stranded Nigerians lost some of their aircraft to the current war in Sudan.
