The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbersola in a statement via his twitter handle has responded to why Nigeria is not placing travel ban on visitors from the US and European countries.
Aregbesola in his statement said, “the Ministry of Health is leading Nigeria’s efforts on combating Corona Virus and they are doing a fantastic job at it. According to the yesterday’s briefing from the minister, Dr EO Ehanire, Nigeria will continue to monitor incoming travelers and select those that are fit for secondary screening. If and when the time comes for Nigeria to lock up our borders, appropriate advice will be given to that effect.
For now, let us trust the professionals handling the job and continue to maintain high personal hygiene and other measures, as advised by the Federal Ministry of Health.”
