The federal government of Nigeria is set to ban flights from European Union countries in response to EU’s decision. The EU had banned flights from Nigeria in a bid to curb the spread of the COVID-19.
Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika made this known at the daily briefing of the Presidential Taskforce on COVID-19, on Thursday.
He said, “…To my understanding, as the situation changes, they are going to look at the list and change it. But so far, we don’t have any contrary information to that first one that Nigeria is banned from going to the EU. So, as we open our airspace, we are going to apply the issue of reciprocity to those (EU) countries.”
Hadi Sirika, was represented by the Director-General, Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, Captain Musa Nuhu.
