Nigeria has successfully evacuated 268 of its citizens that were stranded in China back home.
They returnees arrived at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja at about 2.30 pm yesterday.It will be recalled that many Nigerians stranded in China allegedly suffered a lot of maltreatment from their hosts.
There are more than 4,000 Nigerians scattered across various countries awaiting evacuation following the global lockdown in March, 2020.The new evacuation protocol did not affect the China returnees as the process has been ongoing prior to the latest development with many of them tested outside the stipulated period of between five to nine days to boarding flight.
Besides, he said the Federal Government had jettisoned the monitored compulsory 14 days isolation protocol for self-isolation at home. “Anybody that is going to be evacuated will first of all undergo a test from the countries they are leaving from, at least five days before travel and not later than nine days before.
