The Federal Government will next week commence the evacuation of Nigerians stranded abroad on account of the coronavirus pandemic.


The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, who disclosed this during a briefing by the Presidential TaskForce on COVID-19 in Abuja on Monday, noted that the nationals would be brought back in batches of 200.


Over 2,000 Nigerians in United States, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, China and other countries had registered for the evacuation after agreeing to subject themselves to mandatory coronavirus testing and 14-day quarantine on arrival in Abuja or Lagos.


The minister stated that the government has been working to put in place adequate isolation centres to accommodate the returnees on arrival in the country.


He said, “We have just signed and agreed with two airlines, we negotiated what we feel is very good rates. Since the evacuees are expected to pay, we wanted to get as good a deal as possible. Now, that’s done.
