The Chairman of Air Peace, Chief Allen Onyema, has volunteered his fleets of aircraft to Sudan to help rescue students and other Nigerians stranded in Sudan.
Onyema disclosed this as the Federal Government is in tight situation in rescuing Nigerian students stranded in the troubled war l-torn Sudan.
Air Peace boss reasoned that the stranded Nigerians should move to a safer neigbouring country for evacuation by the Federal Government, since the militia gangs have shutdown the Sudanese airspace.
According to him, Air Peace would be ready to fly to such airport to evacuate the Nigerians.
“I am compelled to help because Nigeria cannot afford to lose her citizens in that country. It would be my own commitment to make sure that the stranded Nigerians in the war-torn country are safe.
“Everything must not be left for government alone, especially as the situation calls for urgency and immediate action.
“Again, Air Peace is willing to evacuate Nigerians stranded in Sudan free of charge if government can get them to a safe and secure airport in any of the neighbouring countries bordering Sudan.
“Everything must not be left for government and government alone. It will be a privilege and honour of tremendous pride that we will be out there to give every Nigerian stranded in Sudan a sense of pride and oneness in their country.
“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. Again, we have no apologies for believing in our nation and loving the nation despite certain national challenges.
“If they are moved to Kenya or Uganda or any other country, we will move in to get them out. Some parents have started calling on us to help. We are ready to do this again and again.”
Since the political impasse started, other countries have been moving out their Nationals from Sudan as a result of the ongoing war.
It was reported that over 1,000 European Union, EU, citizens, and 21 diplomats have been evacuated from Sudan.
