FG is the least I would trust on this matter! FG can rant, when the airports are shut out, passengers stranded, you would not find anybody to come to your rescue. If you want to know if flights would depart from Nigeria tomorrow on international routes, use 'Sky Scanner' to see if most of the airlines that normally fly into Lagos are using large aircraft on their 'inbound' flight. If not, that would give an indication that they are 70% sure they won't fly out of Lagos and are likely going to divert that plane to a neighbouring country for a shorthaul journey.

I will make contacts tonight and post any updates here.
