The French government on Thursday airlifted over 399 of its
nationals from Nigeria.
They were airlifted out of the Murtala Muhammed
International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, by an Air France aircraft.
They were said to have completed all security and health
checks before they boarded the aircraft.
Air France had secured permits from the Nigeria’s Ministry
of Aviation and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) to undertake the
operations under the ‘emergency/special / humanitarian ‘ flights category.
Recall that the United States Mission in Nigeria had also
evacuated its citizens from Nigeria.
The ongoing evacuations are due to the coronavirus outbreak
which has killed 35,000 people worldwide.
In the meantime, Germany is also getting ready to airlift
its citizens stranded in Nigeria, following the restrictions on international
flight by the Nigerian government
