The Federal Government says it has begun compilation of Nigerian interested to return home from the United States of America (USA) over the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a memo titled ‘Evacuation of Nigerians from the US’ and signed by Consul (Information and Community Relations) Mrs. Ninikanwa Okey-Uche, the FG asked those willing to provide their details, including COVID-19 status, travel document status, location and reason for the request to the Consulate.
“Information received will be compiled and forwarded to the Nigerian Government for appropriate action.
“As soon as necessary arrangements are made, all concerned individuals will be informed accordingly. Please note that the financial implications of the evacuation will be borne by the prospective evacuees,” the memo dated April 3, 2020 stated.
The US is the worst hit by the coronavirus with over 300,000 confirmed cases.
