The recent hike in the cost of obtaining a police clearance certificate (PCC) for immigration or study visa purposes by over 700% is completely unacceptable. The initial cost for the certificate was 5000 naira, but without warning, the price has now been increased to 40,000 naira.

This unfounded increase is coming at a time when Nigerians are facing high inflation rates, rising unemployment, widespread insecurity and hardship. This move is a highly insensitive gesture by the leadership of the Nigerian Police Force aimed at killing the dreams of numerous Nigerian youths who are striving to migrate to other countries for educational pursuits or greener pastures.

We are therefore calling the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, to spearhead the reversal of the increase in cost of obtaining a PCC in Nigeria to 5,000 naira.

Nigerian govt to phase out old yellow card July 1 – Official


The Nigerian government will phase out the old version of the yellow card from July 1, the Ministry of Health announced on Friday.

The ministry said in a press statement signed by its director of media, Boade Akinola, that the new e-Yellow card, which was introduced in August 2017, will become the only valid document proof of vaccination against Yellow Fever from that date.

The statement quoted the permanent secretary of the ministry, Abdulaziz Abudullahi, as describing the new card as an electronic version with enhanced security features verifiable anywhere in the world.

This, he explained, can be done by scanning the bar code or checking the card number on the yellow card portal.

“The introduction of the new e- Yellow card, otherwise known as International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP), is to address the issue of fake ‘yellow cards’ which has hitherto constituted a source of national embarrassment.”

Importance of yellow card

The yellow card is a small rectangular booklet given to people who have been vaccinated against Yellow Fever.

Yellow Fever is a communicable disease transmitted by infected mosquitoes. The “yellow” in the name refers to the jaundice that affects some of the patients.

The symptoms of the disease include fever, headache, jaundice, muscle pain, nausea, vomiting and fatigue. The disease is endemic in tropical areas of Africa and Central and South America.

Nigeria is still battling to eradicate the disease as new cases resurfaced in the country in 2017.

Yellow Fever is vaccine preventable. A single
dose is sufficient to confer sustainable immunity and a lifelong protection against the disease.
