Over 500 Nigerian Students Sent Back To Sudan By Egyptian Authorities — Here Is The Reason
Earlier, Egyptian authorities have sent over 500 Nigerian students back.
This was reportedly due to the failure of two of them to provide either a passport or Emergency Travel Certificate.
A report published by the PUNCH on Friday noted that students without passports or ETC had been instructed to stay back.
