Abuja Nigeria on Wednesday was to start repatriating nationals stranded overseas by coronavirus travel restrictions, the foreign ministry said. A first batch of 265 Nigerians is due to fly back to Lagos from Dubai aboard an Emirates flight, followed on Friday by 300 others from London, the ministry said.
An unspecified number of Nigerians is also expected to return from New York on Sunday.
“The federal government has commenced the process of evacuating willing Nigerian nationals outside the country,” the foreign minister said in a statement late Tuesday. (AFP)
