The Federal Government has temporarily suspended the evacuation of Nigerians abroad as announced by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama on Wednesday May 27th while speaking at the PTF daily briefing.
According to him, suspending the evacuation was to ensure the implementation of new protocols that would be required of evacuees.
“There is going to be a change in that protocol and that is going to affect the timing of any further evacuation we are going to undertake.
“What we have been asked to do is to cease or suspend all evacuations for now until this new structure is put into place.
“We are very hopeful that maybe by next week, we should be able to commence evacuation,” he added.
