The Secretary to the Government of the Federation and Chairman of the Presidential Steering Committee PSC on COVID-19, Boss Mustapha has announced the Federal Government’s approval for the immediate relaxation of the COVID-19 safety measures and travel advisory, including the suspension of all pre-departure, pre-boarding, and post-arrival PCR test requirements.
Mustapha yesterday said President Muhammadu Buhari’s approval followed the recommendations of the PSC based on clinical and laboratory evidence of a sustained reduction in COVID-19 infection/transmission across the country.
With the suspension of both the preboarding and post-arrival PCR tests, passengers will no longer be required to upload evidence of vaccination on the Nigeria International Travel Portal NITP, while all unvaccinated and partially vaccinated passengers are strongly encouraged to get fully vaccinated.
A simplified Health Declaration which is non-covid-19 specific shall be completed by all passengers arriving in Nigeria on the Nigeria International Travel Portal NITP, while provision will be made on arrival for those who were unable to complete the form before departure.
