Twelve Nigerians awaiting evacuation in Côte d’Ivoire have reportedly paid N7m for a charter flight.

The stranded men were said to be desperate to return home on account of the coronavirus pandemic.

A senior official informed our correspondent on Wednesday that the Nigerian Mission in Côte d’Ivoire gave the 12 businessmen approval to secure the aircraft at their own expense.

The source stated, “Twelve businessmen stranded in Côte d’Ivoire are desperate to return home. They contacted the Nigerian Mission in Côte d’Ivoire and were asked to make their own travel arrangements, so they decided to come by charter flight.

“They have agreed to pay N7m for the charter flight, but they are waiting for the ministries of Foreign Affairs and Aviation to sort out the landing rights and other clearance issues. A man in Sierra Leone, who is suffering from acute typhoid and was anxious to return to home for treatment, is also willing to pay N1m for a seat on the flight.”

The PUNCH gathered that 292 Nigerians who arrived from Saudi Arabia on Tuesday have taken up the remaining bed spaces at the various isolation centres in Abuja.

The returnees, who were transported by the Saudi government, consisted of a large number of nursing mothers and children who had been stranded in the Arab country.

The Foreign Affairs Minister, Geoffrey Onyeama, confirmed their arrival in a tweet on Wednesday.

The latest arrivals had brought the number of evacuees in quarantine to 912.

Our correspondent learnt that with the latest returnees, the Federal Government would not be able to repatriate more Nigerians in foreign countries until those in quarantine had completed their 14-day period.

There are also indications that the Federal Government was negotiating with Malaysia for the evacuation of Nigerians in that country.
