COVID: FG removes South Africa, Brazil, Turkey from travel restriction list
The federal government says it has taken South Africa, Brazil and Turkey off the list of countries from which travellers are restricted from entering Nigeria.
Boss Mustapha, chairman of the presidential steering committee (PSC) on COVID-19, disclosed this yesterday at a media briefing in Abuja.
The federal government had, in June, added South Africa to the list of countries from which travellers are restricted from entering Nigeria — over the high infection rates recorded in the affected countries.
Speaking at the briefing, Mustapha also said a revised protocol for international travel will be released within the next 24 hours.
“Over several months, four countries were placed on high level restriction for travlers from such countries. The PSC has, after a review of the developments in these countries, decided to remove South Africa, Turkey, and Brazil from the restricted list,” he said.
“As you are aware, the UK has eased restrictions on fully vaccinated travelers from Nigeria to the UK with effect from 11th October. Nigeria welcomes this development and assures that the PSC shall continue to review Nigeria’s protocols based on global developments, science and national experience.
“A revised protocol will be issued in the next 24 hours.”
