The Federal Government has added South Africa to the list of countries where foreign travellers coming into Nigeria have been banned.
In May, the federal government had decreed that any person who has visited Brazil, India, or Turkey within 14 days preceding travel to Nigeria, shall be denied entry into Nigeria.
It said the regulation, however, does not apply to passengers who transited through these countries.
Secretary to the Government of the Federation SGF and Chairman of the Presidential Steering Committee PSC on COVID-19, Mr Boss Mustapha disclosed this during Monday’s briefing of the PSC.
