The Federal Government has just announced that international flights will resume on August 29, 2020, in Nigeria after being suspended as a result of the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic globally.
As a result, all evacuation flights which were introduced in the country in the wake of the ban on international flights occasioned by the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic will end on August 25, 2020.
