CORONAVIRUS: Ban All Flights To And Fro China- Senator Utazi by OrderPaper: 2:44pm On Feb 28, 2020
The Chairman Senate Committee on Primary Health Care and Communicable Diseases, Chukwuka Utazi has appealed to the Presidency to direct the Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika to issue a temporary ban on flights from and to China, because “China remains the main source of Coronavirus infection and spread.”

This was after he charged the Federal Government to create a "health war room" to tackle the outbreak of the virus following a confirmed case of COVID-19 in Lagos state, Nigeria.

Not when Igbo men are still alive.

An average Igbo man will prefer to travel to China even at this critical period than to remain in Nigeria.

Paid a visit to Muritala Muhammad Airport and if you see the departure queue ehn..... You'll marvel. People hustling to just get out of Nigeria.
But the arrivals are scanty and some are foreigner (can you imagine)

I'm laughing in Yen grin

Asking them to stop flights to and from China is like asking Nigerians to stop having opinions, it might happen but then, someone will have another opinion then it gets cancelled

We are too tied to them and have signed contracts covering construction, health tech etc. that require training and work exchange of both Nigerians and Chinese. Stopping flights could be costlier than we think


Last year, Bilateral trade alone reached $8.6bn
from January to June 2019 with 20.7 per cent year-on-year growth

The better plan might be having stronger quarantine and containment measures as this, like SARS, Ebola and co, will also pass

cool


we don't have the political will for that, imagine APC FG banning flights from china, Ibos wouldn't waste time to say Buhari is targeting them and their business

My experience is that I have never boarded an empty flight back to Nigeria.
