Nigeria resumes international flights after months

Nigeria resumed international flights from two of its major cities, Lagos and Abuja, on Saturday after a five months of travel restrictions imposed amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Passengers were seen being screened on their arrival at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, the country's largest city.

The airport's manager Victoria Shin-Aba said after thorough planning she was "happy and confident" the resumption of flights would go smoothly.

The reopening also meant travellers were able to fly out of the country for the first time since March.

Lebanese national Ninerve Constantine, who is pregnant with her third child, was "excited" to be flying to Beirut to deliver her baby.
