Coronavirus: Travel Ban, Are Nigerians Included? by autolearner: 12:42pm On Mar 18, 2020
Following the Federal Government's announcement of travel restriction on 13 countries, are Nigerian citizens from these places also banned from entry into the country?

What happens if these citizens;

- Stand a risk of overstaying their Visas?

- Have run out of budgeted funds for their Vacation in such countries where they have no contacts?

There are ongoing discussions on Social Media around this, and some persons argue that the FG has the rights to restrict entry to all persons, citizens included.

Would that position be right? Please share your thoughts.

Sure. But what happens when they have no funds to continue staying in the hotels and also stand the risk of overstaying their Visa?

You shouldn't put people at risk, it's better to remain where you are. I think if you have Nigerian passport you will be excluded but you'll be quarantined for 14 days.

Some persons who choose to reroute their ticket from London to Dubai to Nigeria to avoid these scenarios should do what?

People from affected countries shouldn't come into the country in the next one month. I see this one becoming like land border closure, it will definitely be longer than that.
