Senate Condemns UK Travel Ban On Nigerians Over Omicron by Azeemokoya: 9:02am On Dec 08, 2021
The Nigerian Senate has condemned the travel ban imposed on Nigerian travelers by the United Kingdom over the detection of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus in the country.

During plenary on Tuesday, the Senate called for the urgent reversal of the UK’s decision to add Nigeria to its COVID-19 red list.

Following the consideration of a motion sponsored by Sen. Ike Ekweremadu titled “Need for Government of the United Kingdom to remove Nigeria from its COVID-19 Red List,” the Nigerian Senate said the ban on Nigerian travelers was quite uncalled for

The Senate advised the UK government to be “sensitive to the diplomatic relations between both countries when making decisions that affect Nigerian citizens.”

The Senate also urged the Federal Government to engage the British authorities in reversing Nigeria’s inclusion on the list.

It also called on the President Muhammadu Buhari administration to remain firm in the enforcement of necessary protocols in the containment of every COVID-19 variant in Nigeria.

Coming under Orders 42 and 52 of the Senate Rules, Ekweremadu noted with satisfaction the efforts of the Government of Nigeria in the containment and treatment of COVID-19 cases.

“Nigeria is among the countries with the lowest cases of COVID-19. The decision by the British Government to include Nigeria in its COVID-19 list, with its concomitant implications, will affect many citizens of Nigeria, who had planned to spend their Christmas and New Year holiday with their families.

“The Senate is also worried that Nigerians with genuine needs to visit the U.K within this period will be denied visas and those with visas will not be allowed to enter the U.K.”...

The variant came from the west and was imported into Africa. Most covid cases in Nigeria are uk returnees, so I wonder why the UK is banning Nigerians. They have designated south Africa as the origin of the omnicron variant despite the fact that the virus was first reported in some western countries. I might start believing that this virus didn't really originate from China but the west.

undecided

If this was a decision centered on only the poor the government will turn deaf ears as usual.

Now, see the counter energy.

They're only condemning because it's gonna affect all of them otherwise, it wouldn't have been their concern. SHAME ON THEM.

Are they affected by the ban? Maybe their families though. Those who haven’t purchased a second nationality.
