In response to a request for evacuation from Sudan made by Nigerian students there, the Federal Government has stated that it is consulting.
According to reports, there is currently antagonism taking place in the nation between the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces and the Sudanese Army.
This was said in a statement released on Thursday by Gabriel Odu on behalf of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission’s Media, Public Relations, and Protocols Unit.

He said the Chairman/CEO, NiDCOM, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, “urged all Nigerian students in Sudan as well as Nigerians living in Sudan to be security conscious and calm”.
