Gabriel Odu, the spokesman for the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), however, claimed in a statement on Saturday that it was “risky and impossible for any flights at this point in time” due to the delicate situation in Sudan.

According to Dabiri-Erewa, plans have been made for the evacuation of students and other stranded citizens by the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and the Nigerian mission in Sudan.
She added that assistance organizations were looking for strategies to reach people in the nation with food, water, and medical supplies.
