According to press reports, Egypt has imposed strict requirements on Nigeria for stranded Nigerians to reach its border.
At the Egyptian border with Sudan’s war-torn nation, the first group of 637 Nigerian students who were evacuated from that nation are trapped.
Geoffrey Onyeama, the minister of foreign affairs for Nigeria, stated in a statement on Sunday that three days after the students arrived, Egypt’s border with Sudan was still closed to them.
According to Onyeama, the Egyptian officials insisted on screening each of the 637 Nigerians before allowing them admission.
He clarified that if Egypt delayed any longer, the Federal Government might send the students to Port Sudan for evacuation.
