Recent reports revealed that the government reportedly hired 40 buses to facilitate the evacuation of the stranded Nigerians to Cairo, Egypt.

According to The Punch,the government  released N150m for the buses and the money was paid to an undisclosed transport company on Tuesday, April 25, 2023, at 12:37 pm by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) through the National Emergency Management Agency.

Confirming this, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission,  confirmed in a tweet that Nigerians in Sudan would be moved to Egypt on Wednesday.

“It’s late in the night. Will get a clearer view in the morning. But in that dark shot are buses that will convey Nigerian students to nearby borders in Egypt. More buses are arriving. A bit of some logistics delay but all now sorted by @nemanigeria and the Nig mission, Sudan”, she tweeted.

The evacuation is taking place on the backdrop of a three-day ceasefire declared by the warring parties, the Sudanese armed forces and the Rapid Support Force.

The ceasefire started at midnight Tuesday.

]]> Senegal wins Africa Cup of Nations in penalty shootout against Egypt, Daily Dates Nigeria reports.

Sadio Mane scored the winning spot-kick as Senegal claimed a first ever Africa Cup of Nations title with a 4-2 penalty shootout victory over seven-time winners Egypt in Yaounde on Sunday.

Mane had missed an early penalty in the game but stepped up to make history for the west African nation, and banish the memories of their 2019 failure when they lost the final to Algeria.

Goalkeeper Edouard Mendy saved from Mohanad Lasheen in the shootout to allow Mane the chance to seal the win and gain just reward for Senegal, who had been by far the better side in the final but spurned numerous opportunities to win the game.
