Sequel to requests by Nigerians stranded abroad
in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
has directed all its missions abroad to compile lists of willing
nationals who wanted to come back home.
According to Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/CEO Nigerians in Diaspora
Commission (NIDCOM),
the interested Nigerians are advised to inform the missions in the
various countries they are in, who will then collate and coordinate with
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
She, however, said that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has instructed
that the financial implications will be borne by the prospective
evacuees, 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 noted that while embassies in several countries are also on
lockdown, those interested could also go online and fill a form
provided on the commission’s website: https://nidcom.gov.ng/form101
