Nigerian students in Europe have called on the Nigerian government to immediately evacuate their counterparts currently studying in Sudan.
The call follows the ongoing conflict in the country. The conflict is believed to have led to the loss of over 170 lives.
The leadership of the Nigerian students association in Europe, operating under the aegis of Nigerian Students in Europe, NANSE, said the development threatened the safety of the students hence the appeal.
National president of NANSE, Bashiru Saidu Muhammad, in a statement said: “We cannot let the conflict in Sudan rob these students of their future.
“We must understand that the effects of war are devastating, and it can cost lives, property, and even disrupt education. Nigerian students studying in Sudan are not immune to these consequences, and we cannot afford to sit back and watch them suffer.
“It is our responsibility to protect and ensure the safety of Nigerian students both at home and abroad. I urge the government to act swiftly and decisively in this matter.”
