Another batch of Nigerians evacuated from Sudan has arrived
at the federal capital territory (FCT).
The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) broke the news
via its Twitter page on Saturday.
The commission said the batch — which comprises 131
Nigerians, including 124 adults and seven infants — arrived at the Nnamdi
Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja at about 1:45 pm.
“Another batch of Evacuees: 131 Nigerian nationals (evacuees)

The development comes days after the first batch of evacuees
arrived in the country.
NiDCOM had earlier assured that about 1,700 remaining
Nigerians in Sudan would be evacuated “in a matter of days”.
“Max Air with a capacity of 540 PAX, AZMAN Air with 400 PAX
and C130 are on the ground to evacuate others, while Tarco promised to make two
