Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Hon Abike Dabiri-Erewa has said buses conveying Nigerians from conflict-ridden Sudan have continued their journey after drivers stopped over non-payment for their service.
She said this on Thursday, April 27, after Nigerian students in Sudan cried out on Twitter that they were stranded in the desert for over 5 hours because their drivers have refused to continue the journey if they don't receive payment.
Reacting, the NiDCOM boss said she contacted the Director-General of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and the matter has been resolved.
"I have just spoken to @nemanigeriadg. He confirmed the buses have continued their Journey and said whatever issues have been resolved," Dabiri-Erewa wrote.
I have just spoken to the @nemanigeria . They have started moving and the issues between Nema and the transport company have been resolved https://t.co/LZzYToWFxH

Baba wa Ayanlola. Difficult to be judge in this instance but I’m sure @FMHDSD and @nemanigeria would clarify. However, the first set has arrived the Aswan border in Egypt but the border is already closed. They will leave early morning and then proceed to the airport https://t.co/HRpUVSiCNB

Meanwhile, the Nigerian students are claiming it wasn't resolved and the buses only started moving because they submitted their passports to the drivers.
They said they won't get their passports back if payment is not made to the drivers.
