The federal government has begun moves to bring back
Nigerians who are stranded abroad amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Abike Dabiri-Erewa, chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora
Commission (NIDCOM), asked those willing to return to notify the Nigerian
missions in their respective countries.
She added via a statement on Friday that the missions will
subsequently forward their names to the ministry of foreign affairs for action.
Dabiri-Erewa, however, said the financial implications of
such evacuation will be borne by the respective individuals “who will be
compulsorily quarantined when they return.”
“To this end, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa urged Nigerians
stranded abroad willing to return home to key into this Federal Government
gesture by providing their information to the mission in their respective host
countries.”
She said while embassies in several countries are also on
lockdown, Nigerians willing to return should fill a form here.
Some countries have been evacuating their citizens from
Nigeria amid the pandemic.
