Nigerian students’ removal from the Egyptian border at Port Sudan has been completed – FG

Tarco Air was in charge of 11 out of the 15 planes that were used to transport the evacuated Nigerians home.

A successful evacuation of all Nigerian students from the war-torn Sudan has taken place.

This declaration was made on behalf of the Federal Government on Saturday by the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM).

Over 2,518 Nigerians have been transported to Nigerian soil since the evacuation exercise began on May 3.

The 125 additional Nigerians who arrived at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja on Saturday were part of the 15th batch of people being evacuated.

On a Tarco B737-300 flying from Port Sudan, the evacuees arrived at 12:49 p.m. The most recent arrival raises the overall number of Nigerians evacuated from Sudan to 2,371.

The National Commission for Refugees, Migrants, and Internally Displaced Persons (National Commission for Refugees, Migrants, and Internally Displaced Persons) and immigration officials worked together to process the returnees after their arrival.

The first group of Nigerians leaving Sudan landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja on May 3, about two weeks after the Federal Government’s guarantees.

Over 270 Nigerian students aboard the Air Peace flight from Egypt’s Aswan Airport arrived at the airport first, with the NAF C-130H aircraft carrying roughly 80 passengers landing not far behind.

A Tarco Airline plane carrying 130 people, including 128 women and two men, arrived in Abuja at roughly 3 p.m. two days later with the second group.

Other non-students who may be left behind in Sudan are unknown, so it is unclear if the evacuation process will continue for them.

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), Tarco Air, Max Air, Azman Air, and Air Peace all participated in the evacuations, according to the commission.

Tarco Air was in charge of 11 out of the 15 planes that were used to transport the evacuated Nigerians home.

No Nigerian life has yet been lost as a result of this exercise, NIDCOM continued.
