At least 301 Chinese citizens have returned home from Nigeria.

The nationals were evacuated on Thursday night through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.

The about 20 hours flight is expected to arrive at the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, China on Friday evening barring any technical or logistics hitches.

“Air Peace on Thursday, May 28, 2020, operated its second flight to China as we evacuated 301 Chinese nationals back to their country.

“The flight departed the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos at exactly 22:05 yesterday to arrive at the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, China,” the airline said in a statement on Friday.

Although the Federal Government had shut all airports in the county in March due to the coronavirus pandemic, it allowed essential flights – for evacuation, medical supplies, amongst others.

The Muslim Students' Society of Nigeria is arguably the country's largest Islamic organization, in terms of numbers. The mother body for all Muslim students at all levels of education in Nigeria; it has the largest membership base in the country, it serves as a common front for Muslim students, it was founded  in response to the yearnings of Muslim students for a platform to discuss and find solutions to their common problems and challenges, especially in the face of hostile colonial and evangelical environment then prevalent in the country.
