The Ghana High Commission in Abuja has announced plans to evacuate Ghanaians in Nigeria despite the border closure by Tuesday, June 2nd, 2020.
However, Ghanaian Nationals who wish to return home will have to pay at least $800 to be flown back home via a chartered flight.
“The cost per passenger ranges from $800to $1000 for a flight from Abuja to Accra and $700 to $900 from Lagos to Accra all depending on the maximum number of (34) of passengers available,” a notice issued by Ghana’s High Commission in Abuja, Nigeria on Friday, [May 29, 2020] said.
The notice added that, all evacuees will also have to bear the cost of a 14-day mandatory quarantine.
The Commission said interested persons should register ahead of the time to be considered for the return flight.
The current evacuation exercise forms part of a special dispensation granted by the government of Ghana to allow for some categories of citizens who have been left stranded abroad following the covid-19 pandemic return to the country.
