The Nigerian authorities have warned that it is still dangerous to embark on a journey towards the Sudanese borders without clearance.
The Embassy also said that it is working on final approval to commence evacuation of Nigerian citizens in Sudan.
This is as the Embassy urged Nigerian students to disregard the notice circulated by NANS in Sudan to gather at three points and to also pay between $100 and $200 for evacuation.
The Embassy therefore urged Nigerian students to remain indoors and wait for directives.
The statement signed by Y. Garko, for the Charge d’ Affairs reads: “The Embassy of Federal Republic of Nigeria Khartoum, wishes to inform all students in Sudan, that they should disregard the notice circulated by the NANS in Sudan, calling students to converge at the three locations namely: African International University, NANS’s Office and El-Razi University for evacuation or to bring $100 or $200 for evacuation
“As the embassy had earlier informed students, you are therefore requested to stay calm and remain indoors, while the Embassy is working on final approval to commence evacuation.
“It is still dangerous to embark on a journey towards the borders of Sudan without securing clearance and guarantee from Sudanese authorities.
“The Embassy wishes to reassure the Nigerian students that their safety and wellbeing is of priority concern.”
