Egypt has given Nigeria stringent conditions for stranded Nigerians to cross its border, The PUNCH has learnt.
The first set of 637 Nigerian students evacuated from Sudan are stranded at the Egyptian border with the war-torn country.
Foreign Affairs Minister, Geoffrey Onyeama, who spoke Sunday, said the Egyptian authorities had not opened its border with Sudan for the students three days after their arrival.
Onyeama said the Egyptian authorities had insisted on clearing all the 637 Nigerians before they could be allowed entry into their country.
He explained that the Federal Government might move the students to Port Sudan for evacuation if Egypt delayed further.
