The Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Zubairu Dada, on Wednesday, said no Nigerian life had been lost so far in the crisis engulfing Sudan.
Dada disclosed this at a media briefing after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, adding that the Federal Government had already perfected plans to evacuate over 5,000 citizens in the war-torn country.
He said the first batch of Nigerians were being conveyed as of Wednesday, noting that citizens would be conveyed by bus through Egypt from where they would be airlifted, Channels News reports.
Diplomats, women and children are to be prioritised in the evacuation process, he noted.
