FG Approves Immediate Relaxation of COVID-19 Safety Measures

The Federal Government has approved the immediate relaxation of COVID-19 safety measures and travel advisories, including the suspension of all pre-departure, pre-boarding, and post-arrival PCR test requirements.

Secretary to the Government of the Federation and Chairman of the Presidential Steering Committee on COVID-19, Boss Mustapha, said Monday in a statement.

President Muhammadu Buhari’s approval, according to Mustapha, follows the PSC’s recommendations based on clinical and laboratory evidence of a sustained reduction in COVID-19 infection/transmission across the country.

Nigerian Airways has also suspended pre-boarding and post-arrival PCR tests. Passengers will no longer be required to upload vaccination documentation to the Nigeria International Travel Portal NITP.

All passengers who are unvaccinated or only partially vaccinated are strongly encouraged to get fully vaccinated.
