Another batch of stranded Nigerians has returned to the country from Saudi Arabia on Wednesday 3rd February 2021.

A social media post by the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) states that the batch which had a total of 425 citizens arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja on Wednesday, February 3.

This is the third batch of Nigerians that have returned to the country within the last week.
