BEVERLY HILLS, August 21, (THEWILL) – Nigeria’s Aviation Minister, Hadi Sirika says Nigeria will block flights from countries that refuse Nigerian flights landing rights because of the coronavirus.
The EU listed Nigeria as one of the countries it would not allow flights from into the zone.
“The principle of reciprocity will be applied. If you ban us from coming to your country, the same will apply the other way,” the Minister told reporters Thursday.
Sirika had earlier in the week announced the resumption of international flights for August 29, 2020 after the airports were shut in March to contain the spread of the virus.
The Minister, who represented at Thursday’s Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 briefing by the Director-General of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, said four flights daily would be coming in to both Lagos and Abuja and passengers will be limited to 1,280 a day.
