She said the decision was informed by “the rapidly changing situation in the region and recent airport closures” over the coronavirus pandemic.
Laing explained that the missions in Abuja and Lagos will remain open to carry out essential work, including providing 24 hours consular assistance and support to the British nationals in the country. “Our missions in both Abuja and Lagos will remain open, continuing to carry out essential work, including providing 24/7 consular assistance and support to the British nationals in Nigeria.
The envoy also said that the mission was exploring flight options for any British national who wished to return to the UK.Meanwhile, China’s aviation regulator on Thursday issued strict new controls on foreign flights, telling domestic airlines that they could maintain only one route to any specific country with no more than one flight per week.
What are you guys still doing here?
So what?
They can go, as they wish. But upon return, they and families will be institutionally quarantined for one month. Cheers!
Is it, UK citizens or which ones. Bcs, I heard buhari & kyari was rejected by them. I guess they are talking about Biafra Citizens indirectly.
They know soon it’ll hit Africa especially Nigeria real hard if preventive measures are not taken and we got no good medical facilities to fight this pandemicGod help Nigeria
They should come fast but as their plane lands none of their crew will touch the ground. They will remain on board until their fellow citizens join them. Nonsense
How can a dead help the sick.? This statement is in opposite. The pandemic sprouted from that end and according to all the analysed statistics , the 56 Covid19 positive patients in Nigeria all came into Nigeria from there in the last two weeks, meaning this virus is not dominant
They should have considered doing this long before now. Nigeria is suffering from every ills Britain has caused our nation from colonial years to COVID-19 year.
Is the UK safer than Nigeria?
Anokeben_real Let's try to understand the headline. I think it means UK is trying to evacuate her (UK's) citizens working or in visit to Nigeria. I mean they are facing their own shit as it is. Why would they evacuate another country's citizens to theirs? Makes zero sense!
Even in their UK is there no CORONA VIRUS ?They are confused?
UK is worse than Nigeria in the pandemic. Nevertheless, Uk have facilities to contain the widespread. Nigeria don't have facilities to take care of a few tens, not to talk of hundreds or thousands of carrier. UK no wan here stories that touch. They value their citizens.
I heard US is aware of all these mess up, they started the whole shit, trying to bring Down Chinese economy, unfortunately its bouncing back on them. US is just pretending
It means the carriers of coronavirus are much in Nigeria. And no facilities to tackle it Forget the digits the govt is giving us
😂😂😂
Our God will surprise them
Oiin
Please, stop considering, and do.
Please when
All these evacuation y'all stay one place abeg.... where you are going is not virus free
Looool from frying pay to fire. Pls evacuate
They brought it here
That's how you know if a country cares so much about you or not. Even in this pandemic period of time they are still worrying about their citizens abroad
They meant cronies in Nigeria.. Rubbish
But they have less chance of being infected here than in UK
UK is kidding us right....so, you mean Nigeria is not safe when compared to the recorded cases over there.
And buhari wee still allow them...
Pls,I'm available
Smelling a rat? Trust their surveillance system! Lai cannot sense it! Meaninglessly catching criticisms perceived to meaningless. Olorun ma je ki o go ku.
This is bubu's plan
UK is talking in the rubbish! UK is talking in the way that does not make sense UK is talking in the way of someone that does not have sense. UK my ass!!!
Abeg very fast please
They should do it very fast!
This simply means they have the real figure of the affected persons.
If u try this in nigeria .......u cant sef😂😂😂
After they have come to spread the virus abi and to leave us to the mercy of their govt to exploit us and claim they are helping out.
They are trying to carry buhari and co simple
No open of border......
What they actually mean to evacuate Buhari from uk you know he is Nigeria president but stay in Ik
Are they still considering? Smh!
We will roll the red carpet for their departure but returning will only be possible after covid 19 total eradication
I pray Nigeria level of pandemic will not reach that much expectations in coming days Ya Allah help the world, we are wick and sinners, we turn back for repentance.
Lolz, as if UK is currently safer than Nigeria..mtchew
Nigeria and UK which is worse when it comes Coronavirus?!
They know something we don't
Dey ur dey make we dey our dey
They shouldn't come to Nigeria oo
They should ooo
What do you expect from them when our own president doesn't have fate in his own country? A country that he helped in making a sh^thole? I weep for Nigeria🚶 TBJoshua BuhariChallenge PresidentCovik CovidNGR PresidentCovikk
Forget the official figure being released by NCDC. If the UK is evacuating, it means situation in Nigeria is going beyond control.
Oya ooooo
They want to hide under this to snuggle Buhari
Evacuate Nigerians to where ?
Please virus or no virus... Let me reach U.K first... Lol
Uk the worst scammer.They wants to hide under this to smuggle Buhari out.we know your tricks

I beg fast fast, take them to where they will all die
Ok after they finished all of us abi
Larry_stylz Yeah my name is Opeyemi Littlefoot the 3rd

Abeg, make I drop address?
Better for you people o. We don't have Hospitals
Let's wait and see how true this is.
Make sure Buhari is not in any way allowed in UK.
🇳🇬 Test labs are too few and it's very slow... And don't get it wrong, many are infected, they are on self medication
They should please come and evacuate them. For all I care we are handling the crisis better than them, 'make dem no come use their reggae spoil our blues abeg'.
When they have no confidence in Nigeria’s medical system. Who go get mansion allow pikin sleep for sleet when riot dey?
Any smart Briton will REFUSE to be evacuated from frying pan to FIRE!
Lol we have suffered in this country.
Evacuate them abeg
I am here o
communist Chinese govt. lied to d world & WHO abt d virus for months putting d entire globe in peril. They silenced & disappeared the brave men & women who tried to warn the world. They should pay for it. Most of the cases we have in Nigeria was from uk. Come & pack them biko
And VIPS also

I thought the government shut the airspace. Where are they evacuating from?
Huunnnnmm UK suddenly woke up to evacuate citizen to Uk in disguise because top government officials are already inflicted with Coronavirus even Our President and the Chief of Staff. Whereas Uk itself is seriously battling with their own increasing cases.
I hope it is not a ploy to use soma dem to experimental treatment...justsaying
Is Nigeria the only country that has British citizens in it? Why is their focus on Nigeria alone? Abi they want to use 'style' and smuggle Bubu and Abba Kyari out ni?
Where is buhari?

Multiple cases in Nigeria is from UK. It's just a plot to collect money from Nigerian politicians to allow them escape from the mess they created.
They should do immediately - they brought the disease here in the first place.
They've already evacuated our President.
From fry pan to fire! What an irony of life!!
Please come and take us back to our country😭
Una don dey see this people 🥴
It is UK citizens resident in the UK. If you have a British passport in Nigeria and you join that flight you will just be homeless in the UK. Dont think they have one hotel they are putting people. You still have homeless people on the streets even with the lockdown
Buhari isn't part of your citizens
They may have to consider evacuating us as well. After all, they’ve always harboured our president when he should have been sent home to fix our hospitals. CovidNGR StayAtHomeAndStaySafe BuhariChallenge ChineseVirus19 CoronaLockdown
Coman carry then and go....
Better evacuate your citizens! Health sector in Naija is terrible!
Get the message, the last resort for UK to cling to their imperialistic exploitation was turning Jubril into Buhari. With Buhari in Limbo, there is high level of uncertainty politically for project called Nigeria. Before Nigeria crashes, UK might as well evacuate Citizens.
China's economy is gradually bouncing back as factories and markets are back in operation while the rest of the world economy is shaking. UK wants to evacuate it's citizens from Nigeria. There's something fishy about this COVID-19 honestly.
How are we going to be sure people coming to evacuate these British citizens will not bring more people with the virus to Nigeria?
When our own people are taking to there land for treatment
Lol...they just cooked up a story to justify moving the Cos and Bubu.. well done but we know the strategy..
Wackie headline... I'd say.
Lol when we bare have 80 cases
Somebody please help me explain this English
Na PMB cause the rubbish him don escape go UK go tell dem say we no safe
Nigeria is not testing so no one believed our figures but they are testing. That's why.
All Nigerians or the elites? You people are the brain behind the behaviours of these wicked politicians
This headline is not inline with real situation on ground, UK that is so careless with this COVID19🤷 ...Maybe they're trying to bring their citizens down here.
For all I know, I smell a rat. There is a conspiracy by our useless govt with UK ambassador to fly out Mr. President and other top politicians out of Nigeria to UK. but that will be their end... u cannot destroy other people and expect to live. No way!
Pls come including any of our politicians that have ur passport as ur citizen
After using them to spread the virus to us you want to take them back, right?
There Citizen has brought us Covid-19
Seriously? 🙄
Make dem just stay for their UK óò. Don't come here to infect us more in the name of evacuation biko.
Quarantine dem over dere for now help us keep dem as u hv being doing
But pls don't use the opportunity to smuggle out some VIPs to be treated in the UK because you guys are part of the problem in naija
I just dey imagine why my phone and data can't get better information.... Na for dream they wan evacuate us?
Asorock use UK Nigeria to carry out they propaganda. They have moved out buhari and Abba kyari in the country. E don happen 😅 😅 COVID19Lagos RevolutionNow
🤣🤣🤣 irony of life
Please you people should carry them. It will help reduce our over populated population.
Is Nigeria not safer than UK now?
Evacuate bawo
All those who brought Uncle CORO-19 are retunees from UK and Europe in general. Now you want to evacuate your citizens.. why did you allow them to leave in the first place. Eran ni UK yii Sha.
Nigeria is a more reliable pleace to be at this trying times
It's her rights and indeed responsibility to so evacuate her citizens from harm's way.
Sharp guys. Dem wan quick hustle for all their citizens before dem kpai for Nigeria. As Naija healthcare na wash. So as to boost their workforce after this pandemic. Dem never recover from brexit now coro don hit dem for blokos
Evacuate them to where? Racist country!
In simpler terms - UK has approved Buhari’s entrance for treatment
And why did you let them out first? Abi na una planned work? Now I understand go and infect them and will come evacuate you all. Ha UK e ni sa nkan to da je. Is not your fault o! By you people should sha take BUHARI along with you
After infecting them all, they want to evacuate them now. Rubbish
It's should be: UK considers options to buy Nigeria. I'm fed up 😕
I don't understand
This is the site y’all keep believing yeh. UK currently has over 5000 cases , NIGERIA has less than 500. Y’all stay clowning 🤡.
NaijaFlyingDr They never finish treating their own outnumbered citizens.. Instead of them to say they want to evacuate our politicians.
Stop it pls stop it, I dont like what I hate
Good one ❤✊
polymath001 Evacuate to which place 🤔🤔
How can uk think like that when they are the one infecting us. This is like a paid for news that must be print hmm CORRUPT PUNCH!
You can imagine
Buhari is leaving 😥😥
To where?
Don’t listen to them. It’s fear factor. Look at the infection rate. Most of the cases are the ones that was brought in. The heat does not allow it to spread like that. We will be fine. Just isolate. Wash ya hands.
Including our president?
No one is going anywhere.
Our airports and border are closed. Pls keep them in UK, we are still trying to cutail the Corona virus brought from the 'abroad'. watch
Nice. Time I go back home 🏡
It’s like there citizens don’t even want to go 1/2 cup of corona is better than 1 full cupoooh .. before you see monkey, monkey don see you
This is nothing but a desperate move to rescue the already leaked Jubril-Kyari situation. UK cannot fool us on this. It's all targeted at covering up what we already know.
UK has the COVID-19 virus 🦠 more than Nigeria 🇳🇬 ill decision at this time hmmm🤭
Better pls do
Nigeria is even more safer for them
Of course its obvious. Even tho Africa had enough time to prepare for this outbreak yet see where we are. They know things can be well managed over there than here. They just ordered over 10000 ventilators. While there are not more than 500 in the whole of Nigeria. God help us.
I hope they're not trying to evacuate Buhari and our politicians in disguise?
This is a proverbial case of kettle calling pot black.
When they are the ones that infected us majorly
Which citizen, they both left yesterday. Or they want to make it official now? BuhariChallenge
Mazianozie obey your British masters.
baba let them come and evacuate me abeg...

ayemojubar Buhari is not your citizen oo. Don't let Nigerians go to war with you. He's out president
Why?🤷🏻♀️
They are mad
Lol them don start
UK that couldn't even prevent their heir to the throne from getting infected. OK o
e race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned;
They know what they are doing. I only pray to God to keep Nigeria safe. We are not managing this things well with figures distortion and so many people above the law
The UK is the worst thing that happened to Nigeria
Sometimes, they hear and know what we dont know. If anything should happen in the seat of power they know what the end would be. Just proactive
Ermmm... When r they coming for us?
They should with an immediate effect like say no be them bring am come 9ja
So I guess they are all using British passports, and they can easily evacuate them. Anyone that go with them is a traitor to this great nation. I’m sure those elite men all have UK passports. This is just a coverup for them to get treatment overseas. FTWR
Well... they talking about British citizens in Nigeria. Tho Buhari is one of them still shaa
Our leaders at work again, using brain for us... Awon oloshi
Evacuate to where biko they should stay one place
Pls do it ASAP
Buhari and Abba Kayri .....that's the targets not the masses. Cos the way e dey me...if i sure sey dem go move me go UK.. I'm so french kissing 6 COVID-19 patients today today.
God forbid
PMB shouldn't be allowed to disguise as a British citizen and escape sha Whereisbuhari
Their citizens will not even allow to go back now knowing that their country has become porous for corona virus.
🙄🙄🙄
Let them take their citizens if they feel Nigeria does not have facilities to cater for them
Want to make us feel we r gonna be worse....... lack time for this !
Punch make ur sentence clear
What are they waiting for? Let them come and carry their remaining Covid 19 potential baggage nah
Huh😳😳😳😳
Hahaha😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol! Dey can't afford to deal our legbe legbe way of handling this issue since they know how substandard our medical facilities are.
