Nigerians who are trapped in Sudan, North-East Africa, can be transported for free by Air Peace, a private airline if the federal government can arrange for their transfer to an airport in one of the nations bordering Sudan.
Allen Onyema, the airline’s chairman and chief executive officer, revealed this in a statement on Monday.
He stated that the students and other travellers stuck in the war-torn country of Nigeria urgently “need our help.”

Nigeria cannot afford to lose its compatriots there, according to Onyema, who also pledged his personal commitment to ensuring the safety of the trapped Nigerians in the conflict-torn nation.
He said;
Again, Air Peace is willing to evacuate Nigerians stranded in Sudan free of charge if the government can get them to a safe and secure airport in any of the neighbouring countries bordering Sudan. Everything must not be left to the government and the government alone.
We are very ready to do it immediately. No time wasting. Any action that would promote national pride, national cohesion, peace, and unity, we are for it.
Again, we have no apologies for believing in our nation and loving the nation despite certain national challenges. If they are moved to Kenya or Uganda or any other country, we will move in to get them out. Some parents have started calling on us to help. We are ready to do this again and again.
In 2019, Air Peace deployed flights to evacuate Nigerians in South Africa when the xenophobic attack against Africans living in that country threatened the lives of Nigerians.
About 5,500 Nigerians who were stuck in Sudan were being evacuated by the Federal Government through the Egyptian town of Luxor.
MDB reports that the Federal Government was requesting Egypt’s assistance in order to transport the trapped Nigerians to Luxor.
Dr. Onimode Bandele, the National Emergency Management Agency’s Director of Special Duties and Chairman of the Committee for the Evacuation of the Stranded Nigerians from Sudan, reported that the FG was meeting with Egyptian government representatives to discuss how to evacuate Nigerians from Sudan via Egypt.
