According to NIDCOM in a series of tweets, the returnees arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja at about 8:00am Wednesday.

“Some Evacuees will disembark in Abuja while others will proceed to Murtala Mohammed Int’l Airport, Lagos”.

The agency noted that although the evacuees have tested negative to COVID-19, they will be undergoing mandatory self-isolation in line with guidelines from the Presidential Task Force and the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC).

Since the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted travels across the world, thousands of Nigerians have been evacuated back home.
