THE Federal Government has removed India from the list of flagged countries, saying travellers from India will no longer be denied entry into Nigeria as the country.

The government which had recently placed a ban on travellers coming from India, Brazil, and turkey, due to the rapid spread of COVID-19 in those countries, informed that the decision to lift the ban was a result of the improved situation in the country.

Secretary to the government of the federation and chairman, presidential steering committee on COVID-19, Boss Mustapha, who noted this at the committee’s briefing in Abuja, also advised Nigerians to carry their vaccination card details or barcode on their electronic devices, for easy access during travels.

The chairman stressed that vaccines remain the best bet to fighting the pandemic and affirmed that Nigeria is set to receive about 52 million doses of the vaccines by the second quarter of 2022.
