Minister of Foreign Affairs, GEOFFERY ONYEAMA has said protocols for evacuating Nigerians in the Diaspora have been completed and the country is in a “stronger and better position” to bring Nigerians interested in returning to the country.

The minister stressed that the evacuations had been part of the government’s plans since the international airports were closed, explaining that the process was delayed to enable the government sort out the logistics involved.

ONYEAMA directed all Nigerians interested in returning to the country to work with Nigeria’s embassies and high commissions where they are.

Several countries, including Canada, Israel, and the United States, have evacuated citizens in different countries due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
