Azman Air has received the approval of the federal government to airlift Nigerians “stranded at the Egyptian border” due to the war in Sudan.

On Monday, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, chairperson of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), said Egypt had opened its border for the Nigerian students fleeing the war in Sudan.

In a tweet a few hours later, the Nigerian airline said it got the federal government’s approval to commence evacuation on Tuesday, May 2, 2023.
