After weeks of waiting, Nigeria has announced the resumption of International Flights.
Breaking the heart-warming news in a tweet is the Minister for Aviation, Hadi Sirika.
He tweeted: “Glad to announce the resumption of International Flights from August 29, beginning with Lagos and Abuja as we did with the domestic flight resumption.
“Protocols and procedures will be announced in due course. We thank you for your patience”.
Nigeria closed its airspace to International Flights late March over the COVID-19 pandemic, except for humanitarian and diplomatic flights.
It remains to see which of the International Flights would come to Nigeria. Europe banned Nigerians, and the USA, among other countries from entering for fear of the spread of the Virus.
