UAE Government Refusing Nigerians Entry by mrnwas(op): 2:02pm On Mar 29, 2021
Yesterday was indeed a very sad day for most Nigerians, especially those with Valid Visas.

Even after Meeting the requirements;
NEGATIVE Covid19 test
Antigen test
GDFR approval (For residents)

These passengers were unable to obtain boarding pass at the Murtala Muhhamed international airport as they tried to make their trip using Egypt Air.

A senior officer at Egypt air however made it known that because of the recent event between Nigerian Aviation authority and Emirates airlines and UAE government, the government of the UAE has placed some travel restrictions on Nigerians with green passport.

It was however, noticed that Nigerians in the Engineering, Medical, IT and other key sectors were allowed to board their flights.

A passenger however opined that if truly Egypt air knew the government of UAE wouldn't allow Nigerians into their airspace, why then we're they encouraging Nigerians to book flights, take Covid19 test, Antigen tests which were all expensive.

It is therefore hoped that Nigerian Aviation authority and Emirates airways along with 5y3 government of United Arab Emirates would resolve their issues to allow a few Nigerians proceed with their travel arrangements or make it clear why they're not allowed in.

Some of these travellers have jobs there in the UAE sir. By refusing them entry, how would they survive back home?

I don't think your information is true. This is a social media platform where any information disseminated here should be verified to avoid misleading your readers here.
For your information there is currently no flight lifting passengers from Nigeria to Dubai since February 2021 due to the covid 19 issue between both countries. So I don't really know where your source is getting his information from at the moment.
So brother always get your facts right before posting.
