There's a full lockdown in three Nigerian states: Lagos, Ogun and therefore the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. there's partial lockdown in other states within the country.
TRAVELLING TO NIGERIA A no flight order has been initiated in Nigeria. Foreigners aren't allowed to enter into Nigeria at this moment as all land, air and sea entry points are pack up apart from those providing essential services. A foreigner who isn't rendering essential services won't be allowed into Nigeria even with a legitimate permit/visa.
RESTRICTIONS OR CANCELLATION ON VISAS APPLICATIONS/ISSUANCE the govt has suspended the issuance of visas, and cancelled all visas previously issued, to citizens of China, Italy, Iran, South Korea , Spain, Japan, France, Germany, the us , Norway, UK, Netherlands and Switzerland for 4 weeks from 18 March 2020 and subject to review.
The Nigeria Immigration Service has announced a temporary suspension of passport and migrant e-registration from 23 March 2020 to 23 April 2020.
EXPIRATION OF STATUS WHILE IN NIGERIA Foreigners could also be unable to go away the country as a result of the no flight order on commercial flights. Foreigners whose status may expire while this order remains active may notify and apply to the Nigeria Immigration Service to hunt a special dispensation or an extension.
We understand that visa extensions are currently being administered for foreigners within the country to validate their stay in Nigeria only. it's our opinion that foreigners who overstay during this era will neither be penalized or held in breach of their visa conditions.
LEAVING NIGERIA it's unlikely that residents or expatriates will fly out from Nigeria as commercial flights are currently observing a no flight order.

However, countries could also be allowed to evacuate their citizens during this era.
