Reports just received say that the British High Commission will shut down its offices in Abuja, Lagos and across the country on Monday.
The UK Mission in Nigeria made the announcement in a statement on its social media accounts.
The mission said that the closure is in commemoration of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral.
The notice, however, added that Visa Application Centres in Abuja and Lagos will remain open.
A service of remembrance was held for the Queen on Thursday at the Cathedral Church of Advent in the nation’s capital.
The final resting place of the late Commonwealth head will be at St. George’s Chapel within Windsor Castle, next to her husband, Prince Philip.
Born April 21, 1926, in London, the Queen of England passed away on September 8, 2022, at the Balmoral Castle.
