Dangote will support the resettlement of Nigerians who were evacuated from Sudan
The Aliko Dangote Foundation's Board of Trustees is committed to making a significant contribution to the evacuation and resettlement of the thousands of Nigerians trapped in Sudan.
The Aliko Dangote Foundation's MD/Chairman, Zouera Youssoufou, has gotten in touch with Air Peace and the Federal Government to outline the foundation's support strategy for stranded Nigerians.
"The foundation will work with the Federal Government and Air Peace to ensure the safe movement of stranded Nigerians and provide equipment and support to the evacuees, to make them feel at ease when they return to Nigeria," the spokeswoman added.
The foundation went on to say that the ADF has contacted the appropriate federal government agencies and stakeholders in disaster aid because it is aware of the difficulties that Air Peace and the federal government face in this endeavor. Yes, "... it demonstrates our desire to cooperate with them in order to ensure that all Nigerians trapped in Sudan are returned home safely."
In 2015, as you may remember, the Aliko Dangote Foundation provided the Nigerian government with financial assistance for Nigerian volunteer health professionals who helped with the fight against Ebola in Liberia and Sierra Leone. They then returned to Nigeria and helped with the nation's efforts.
Additionally, during the recent Covid-19 outbreak, the ADF provided specially chartered flights, Covid testing, and quarantine upon the return of Nigerians from India and Dubai.
Since 2011, ADF has provided food, shelter, and medical care for thousands of refugees in Yobe, Borno, Adamawa, and Abuja, spending more than 25 billion nairas.
The first batch of 13 buses carrying 637 (637) individuals arrived at the border in Aswan, Egypt, safely, according to a joint statement from the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Human Development and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
