Nigerian Ambassador to the Republic of Sudan, Safiu Olaniyan, has given an update on the situation in the war-torn country.
The envoy gave the update while reacting to complaints and allegations levelled against the embassy.
In a voice note, the ambassador assured parents and students that the embassy officials were fully on ground in Khartoum, capital of Sudan, to ensure their evacuation.
He also clarified that the embassy was not in charge of hiring buses to convey evacuees out of Sudan, and pleaded with those aggrieved to rethink the alleged plan to attack embassy officials.
He said the Ministry of Disaster and Humanitarian Affairs as well National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) were in charge of the buses.
“Good afternoon my fellow Nigerians. My name is Ambassador Olaniyan. I’m reaching out to you at this point on the issue of buses that’s creating tension everywhere.
“I just want to let you know that the embassy is not in charge of the bus contracts. We’ve not received any money from anybody to hire buses. We are arranging the logistics.
