Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa has said buses conveying Nigerians from conflict-ridden Sudan have continued their journey after a stop.
She said this on Thursday in reaction to a crisis that occurred whereby buses stopped on the road as a result of logistics.
A Twitter user, Dr Ahmad Small @dr_ahmadsmall had posted a video of a woman and others lamenting that the buses stopped halfway in the desert for five hours with the drivers alleging that they were not paid.
But, in a swift response, the NiDCOM boss said she contacted the Director-General of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and the matter has been resolved.
“I have just spoken to @nemanigeriadg. He confirmed the buses have continued their Journey and said whatever issues have been resolved,” Dabiri-Erewa wrote.
I have just spoken to the @nemanigeria . They have started moving and the issues between Nema and the transport company have been resolved https://t.co/LZzYToWFxH
