Abike Dabiri-Erewa who is the Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission NIDCOM shared photos of the students on Twitter and stated that they were undergoing registrations and will be evacuated in no distant time.

‘’As our students in Sudan queued up orderly to board their buses to Egypt enroute to Nigeria, supervised by Nigerian mission officials in Sudan. Let’s remember them in our prayers as they journey home. War is a terrible thing !!” she said

Meanwhile, The warring parties in Sudan have agreed to a three-day ceasefire starting midnight on Monday, as many countries race to evacuate civilians from the battle-scarred African country.
