The Chairperson of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Aboke Dabiri Erewa, disclosed that Nigerian Universities have offered to admit students returning from Sudan, when she appeared as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Thursday.
The continuation of the Students’ Education would not be an issue, she assured, while reiterating that the priority at the moment was the safe return of the trapped students.
“We did it with Ukraine, when they came back, there were plans to continue education for them,” Dabiri Erewa said.
She continued that, the medical students among the students had issues because the level of Ukraine medical school wasn’t as good as that of Nigeria but the Ministry of Foreign Affair had them sorted out.
She further said, “Let them (the ones from Sudan) come back, let us receive them safely and then we can take it from there. In fact, Universities are already offering and have reached out to us that when they come back and they want to continue their education, they should contact them, so all that shouldn’t be a problem at all.
“I think the number one problem is that you cannot be talking about continuing your education if you’re not safe so our focus and our anxiety is that all Nigerian students should come back.”
She informed the anchor of the show that, the President has approved funds so that everything can be taken care of 24/7 and the first thing to do at this point in time is to make sure the students unite with their families.
