TRAVEL PROTOCOL TO NIGERIA CHANGES TODAY

The Federal Governments Covid-19 protocol for entering Nigeria changes today.

Boss Mustapha, the Chairman of the Presidential Steering Committee for Covid-19 has advised.

Any in-bound passengers to Nigeria that are fully vaccinated need not take any pre or post flight PCR tests and rapid antigen tests.

Any child under the age of 18 is under the same bracket as a fully vaccinated adult in the new protocol document.

For the unvaccinated and partially vaccinated a PCR test 48 hours before departure is required, along with the 2 and 7 day post arrival PCR tests, at their own cost.

All-inbound passengers, regardless of vaccination status, are expected to register via the online Nigeria International Travel Portal (NITP– https://nitp.ncdc.gov.ng).

All passengers travelling out of Nigeria are “encouraged to have evidence of full vaccination against COVID-19; comply with the COVID-19 guidelines of their destination or transit countries; and to familiarize themselves with the COVID-19 travel requirements of their destination and transit countries before embarking on the journey.”
