FG: Nigerians in US now to Be Evacuated Saturday
The federal government has announced that the evacuation of the first batch of Nigerians from the United States will take place on Saturday, May 9, as against Sunday, May 10, 2020 that was earlier announced.
It stated categorically that the mission would attend to applicants on a first come, first served basis and would prioritise the list of evacuees according to their immigration status. “This new arrangement replaces Ethiopian Airlines flight ET 509, which was earlier scheduled on 10th May 2020. However, those already booked on ET 509 will now be transferred by the airline to the new flight ET 8509 on Saturday 9th May, 2020. The Ethiopian Airlines regrets any inconveniences this change might cause travellers.
It noted that any prospective evacuee with a temperature above 38 degrees centigrade or visually observed to have any symptoms suggestive of Covid-19, would not be allowed to check in, while also adding that Ethiopian Airlines’ rules would apply for the flight, stressing that this included a baggage restriction that only allows for two pieces of 23 kilogrammes each as checked baggage and seven kilogrammes for a carry-on piece.
