Sudan’s ambassador to Nigeria, Muhammad Yusuf, has pleaded with Nigerians returning from the conflict-hit country to consider returning when things cool off.
Speaking on Thursday after a batch of Nigerians returned from the country, Mr Yusuf urged them to resume their studies and reopen their businesses after the fighting between the army and the paramilitary forces ends.

The ambassador also expressed optimism that the army will soon regain control of the whole territory.
“I’m very happy to have these evacuees coming from Sudan safe, no life is lost. Nigerians are coming from their second country.
“I hope that things will be controlled and safety will be back. You can come back and continue your studies, and businesses,” he said.
Yusuf said although the government had proposed another truce, there would be no negotiations between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The acceptance of the truce, he explained, is for only humanitarian purposes to enable people to get food, shelter, water and medicine.
“I’m very sorry for what is happening there but at the same time I’m very happy to have these evacuees coming from Sudan safe, no life is lost,” he was quoted by the Cable newspaper as saying.
Another batch of Nigerians from Sudan is expected to arrive on Friday.
