As the Egyptian Government imposed stringent conditions for allowing stranded Nigerian students to cross its border, the Nigerian Ambassador to Egypt and Palestine, Amb. Nura Abba Rimi, has promised that the Federal Government will comply to all conditions given by Egypt.
Abba Rimi mentioned this on Tuesday, on NTA network news around 4:28pm.
While speaking on the news, the Ambassador stated that the evacuation will commence based on the number of seats on the aircrafts that are on ground.
He said, “We have let’s say about 130 seats on ground and Airpeace is on its way.
They are going to release the student based on the number of available seat on the aircrafts on ground. I don’t know how many batches are out there but i know that there are about 500 people out there.”
Recall that the Egyptian authorities had insisted on clearing all stranded 637 Nigerians before permitting entry.
Nigerian Ambassador to Egypt, Nura Rimi, shared the conditions and guidelines for evacuating Nigerians through Egypt. These include details and schedules of the aircraft, the capacity of the aircraft, a solid pledge to convey citizens directly to the designated airport, comprehensive lists of evacuees with passport numbers, valid travel documents, the presence of Nigerian government officials at the points of embarkation, and standby buses to transport them to the airport immediately.
