Air Peace has disclosed its readiness to evacuate stranded Nigerians in war-torn Sudan for free.
The Chairman and Chief Executive Office of the airline, Allen Onyemamade made this known via a statement on Monday.
He noted that if the Federal Government can get them to a safe and secure airport in any of the neighbouring countries of Sudan.
According to the statement, Onyema is compelled to help because Nigeria cannot afford to lose her citizens in that country, adding that it would be his own commitment to making sure that the stranded Nigerians in the war-torn country are safe.
“Again, Air Peace is willing to evacuate Nigerians stranded in Sudan free of charge if the government can get them to a safe and secure airport in any of the neighbouring countries bordering Sudan. Everything must not be left to the government and the government alone.
“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,” he said.
This is not the first time Air Peace is doing this, in 2019, the airline deployed flights to evacuate Nigerians in South Africa when the xenophobic attack against Africans living in that country threatened the lives of Nigerians.
