The Aliko Dangote Foundation Board of Trustees has decided to work with Air Peace and the Federal Government to assist thousands of Nigerians trapped in Sudan.
The CEO of the Aliko Dangote Foundation (ADF), Zouera Youssoufou, has contacted Air Peace and the Federal Government. She stated that the Foundation is prepared to assist stranded Nigerians.
The Foundation will work with the Federal Government and Air Peace to make sure the stranded Nigerians can come back home easily. We will also give them the help they need to settle in more comfortably when they return to Nigeria, she said.
Youssoufou also stated that ADF is aware of the difficulties that the Federal Government and Air Peace face in this mission. The Foundation has contacted key Federal Government agencies involved in disaster relief, expressing their desire to collaborate in order to safely return all Nigerians home.
The Aliko Dangote Foundation has previously assisted the Nigerian government with a variety of efforts, including assisting health workers during the Ebola crisis in 2015 and assisting Nigerians returning from India and Dubai during the Covid pandemic.
ADF has spent over 25 billion naira since 2011 to assist thousands of people in Yobe, Borno, Adamawa, and Abuja by providing food, shelter, and health care.
The first group of 637 evacuees arrived at safe borders in Aswan, Egypt, on 13 buses, according to a joint press release from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development.
