She said a total of 13 out of the 40 buses hired to transport Nigerians from the troubled Sudan already left since Wednesday and moved by road to Boarder town of Aswan in Egypt where both the Embassy staff in Egypt and the DG NEMA will receive the evacuees.

She added that 10 of those buses transported Nigerians from Universities in Khartoum while the remaining three buses were dispatched to El- Razi University to convey them to the boarder town in Egypt.

On allegations of segregation and discrimantion in the evacuation process, she explained that children and women were given priority as they were profiled for administrative purposes.

The NIDCOM boss said a boeing 777 from Airpeace will depart Lagos by evening of Thursday and will transport the first batch home on Friday.
