Ten buses left Sudan for Egypt early Wednesday with 500 Nigerians, from where they will be airlifted home by Air Peace.
Another set of the stranded Nigerians boarded 10 buses on Wednesday night.
Chairperson of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Mrs Abike-Dabiri, who provided the updates, said that two of the first 10 buses took off from El-Razy University, while eight picked up Nigerians from the African International University. Both universities are located in Khartoum, capital of Sudan.
The buses are among the 40 hired by the Federal Government at a total cost of $1.2 million.
Abike-Dabiri said that the convoy of vehicles conveying the Nigerians were headed for Luxor and Aswan borders in Egypt.
She also said that 13 Nigerians who made individual arrangements to flee Sudan, have arrived in Ethiopia.
Some of them, she said, have made personal arrangements to return to the country.
