Sudan Crisis: Seven hours were spent waiting for transport - Nigerian Students

"We are still hoping," a 22-year-old Nigerian student in Khartoum, the Sudanese capital, stated as he waited for a bus to leave the city since six in the morning.

It may get quite hot there throughout the day, with temperatures rising to 43 degrees Celsius, and water is scarce.

She did, however, mention that many Nigerians were waiting outside in the sweltering sun to make sure they didn't miss the opportunity to return home.

The evacuation of Nigerians would begin on Tuesday, the head of the Board of Control for Nigerians Abroad said on a BBC show on Tuesday.

When the NDC was questioned about why it took so long for the Nigerian government to announce the evacuation plan, she responded that they needed approval from both sides of the military to have a safe passage.
