In a statement signed by the President of the NLC, Joe Ajaero, on Saturday, the union said no Nigerian must be allowed to die in Sudan because of the negligence of the Nigerian government. The NLC also described as unacceptable, the government’s “excuse that attempting to evacuate our nationals through the Airport is risky”.
Nigerians Must Not Be Allowed To Die In Sudan Because Of Your Negligence – NLC Warns Buhari GovernmentIn a statement signed by the President of the NLC, Joe Ajaero, on Saturday, the union said no Nigerian must be allowed to die in Sudan because of the negligence of the Nigerian government.
The NLC also described as unacceptable, the government’s “excuse that attempting to evacuate our nationals through the Airport is risky”. It also suggested that “the government works out an arrangement with the international community to create a safe haven for all foreign nationals in the country to serve as a buffer to all foreign nationals against the vagaries of the War while peace effort is being made or other safer methods of evacuation are developed.”
“It remains the duty of the government and we urge the federal government to make this happen unless they want to tell us that these lives are not as important as the lives of the children of those in authority and does not deserve to be protected?
