Recall that the Federal Government had suspended both domestic and international flight operations across the country in March, following the outbreak of COVID- 19 pandemic.
The British High Commision said while it was aware of the obstructions caused by the suspension of international flights due to COVID- 19, adding that it is closely working with its commercial partner to reopen visa application centres.
The High Commission said, “We know there are many Nigerian nationals hoping to be able to travel to the UK when flights resume, both for employment and to see family members.
