The Federal Government says, contrary to insinuation that the United Arab Emirates, UAE, placed a ban on flights from Nigeria, it actually placed a ban on the UAE first, due to the terms and conditions laid down by the Emirates.
The United Arab Emirates, had on June nineteenth lifted ban on travels between Dubai and Nigeria after a protracted disagreement between the two countries on Covid-19 protocols.
According to the report, United Arab Emirates had insisted on travelers from Nigeria undergoing several other COVID-19 tests after the initial test in Nigeria.
In an interview with Journalists, the Secretary of the Presidential Steering Committee on COVID-19, Dr Mukhtar Muhammed, said the Federal Government had placed a ban on the Emirates before an announcement came from the United Arab Emirates.
