The Federal Government has said that 200 Nigerians abroad are due to return to the country next week.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, revealed this on Monday during a press briefing by the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19.
He said the ministry needed to ensure that facilities put in place for returnees were well equipped, adding that it would ensure the returnees were well kept.
