The Nigerian government has authorized Azman Air, a Nigerian airline, to assist in the evacuation of Nigerians trapped in Sudan.
The airline reportedly announced this on Instagram on Monday night, according to newsmen.
The airline says the evacuation will begin on Tuesday.
The airline’s statement said, “Azman Air has received the approval of the Federal Government to Evacuate Nigerians stranded at the Egyptian border amid the Sudan crisis with the 409-Seater Airbus A340-600.

“Evacuation is expected to commence from Tuesday, May 2 as we await final clearance from Egypt.”
Remember that another airline, Air Peace, also announced its commitment to assist Nigerians in Sudan without charging them?
Allen Onyema, the CEO of the airline, stated in a statement on Monday that students from Nigeria and others in Sudan urgently require assistance.
Onyema suggested that Nigerians in Sudan could be relocated to a neighboring nation while being evacuated by Peace Air.
Onyema said, “I am compelled to help because Nigeria cannot afford to lose her citizens in that country. It would be my own commitment to making sure that the stranded Nigerians in the war-torn country are safe.
