84 Nigerians who has shown willingness to evacuate south Africa, is expected to arrive Nigeria today(Wednesday) by 2pm at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos in company of officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, disclosed this in an update made available to journalists in Abuja on Wednesday, explained that although 313 Nigerians were confirmed as those to form the first batch of evacuees, only 84 of them would arrive on Wednesday because they were the ones cleared to embark on the flight to Nigeria.

According to the ministry, 640 Nigerians have indicated the desire to return from South Africa and have registered to do so.

The ministry added that the second batch of evacuees would depart Johannesburg for Nigeria on Friday.

“The Air Peace aircraft which was scheduled to take off at 9. a.m. local time was delayed due to the fact that checking in and clearance procedures by immigration are very very slow.

“There are complains of system failure and out of the 313 confirmed for first batch of evacuation today, only 84 are cleared so far.

“The more the aircraft waits for the passengers, the higher the amount the aircraft will pay for parking,” the ministry stated.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that following the xenophobic attack on Nigerians in South Africa, Allen Onyeama, proprietor of the airline, volunteered to send an aircraft to evacuate Nigerians willing to return free of charge.

The process which was earlier scheduled to commence on September 6 had stalled as it was reported that most Nigerians willing to return did not have valid passports or travel documents to complete immigration formalities.
