The Federal Government has sent a strong warning to four countries which recently placed Nigeria on their “red list” in the wake of the discovery of COVID-19 Omicron variant.
The United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Canada and Argentina had recently imposed restrictive measures on Nigeria, specifically barring flights from Nigeria into their countries.
Acting Chairman, Presidential Steering Committee PSC on COVID-19 and Minister of Aviation, Sen. Hadi Sirika disclosed this on Monday in Abuja at a news conference.
As part of its principle of reciprocity with other countries, the Federal Government had at the weekend concluded plans to retaliate discriminatory measures put in place by those countries against Nigeria in the wake of the discovery of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 across the world.
Nigeria has consistently protested the measures put in place by the four countries, saying they were not based on data and science but on myth.
