Air Peace, a private airline said it is ready to evacuate Nigerian nationals who are stranded due to the ongoing conflict in Sudan for free.
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Allen Onyema, announced this on Monday.
He said the offer could only be possible if the Nigerian government can transport them to a safe and secure airport in any of Sudan’s neighboring countries.
“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.
This comes barely a few hours after the country’s Minister of Foreign Affairs revealed the government’s plans to evacuate the stranded Nigerians by road from the Northeast African country.
The statement reads: “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 neighboring countries bordering Sudan. Everything must not be left to the government and the government alone.
