On Monday, September 19, the British High Commission offices in Abuja, Lagos, and the rest of Nigeria will be closed while the United Kingdom buries its late Queen Elizabeth II in London.
This information was disclosed in a statement published on Friday to the United Kingdom’s official Twitter account in Nigeria, @UKinNigeria. The tweet noted that the shutdown will not effect the UK Visa Application Centers in Lagos and Abuja.
The announcement said: “Our British High Commission offices in Abuja, Lagos, and across the country will be closed on Monday, September 19th, 2022, in observance of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral. UK Visa Application Centres in Abuja & Lagos remain open. God Save the King!”
