The minister said details of "protocols and procedures will be announced in due course":

Nigerian airports were closed for international passenger flights in March due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The resumption of international flights is part of the gradual reopening of Africa’s largest economy. Domestic flights resumed last month.

Nigeria has recorded more than 49,000 cases of coronavirus with more than 36,000 recoveries and 975 deaths.
