The federal government says it will restrict airlines coming from Canada, United Kingdom, and Saudi Arabia into Nigeria from tomorrow (Tuesday), December 14.

Hadi Sirika, minister of aviation, who disclosed this yesterday in Lagos, explained that it was to reciprocate the travel ban placed on Nigeria over the new COVID-19 variant, Omicron.

Sirika said President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration would also place the United Kingdom, Canada, and Saudi Arabia on a red list over the outbreak and spread of the Omicron variant.

The UK had announced that non-UK and non-Irish citizens travelling in from Nigeria will not be allowed entry into the country following the cases of the Omicron COVID-19 variant reported in Nigeria.
