Omicron: 'Nigeria Not on Any Country's Red List,' FG Faults UK Ban | Daily Report Nigeria

Nigeria’s Federal Government has faulted the decision of the United Kingdom in flagging it a red zone following the confirmation of the Omicron variant of Coronavirus.

This is even as the government seeks a to review of the travel ban imposed by the UK government.

Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed in a briefing on Monday, described the decision as “unfair, unjust, punitive and discriminatory because it does not follow the science.”

He said: “As you are aware, Britain has put Nigeria on its red list and banned foreign travels from our country.

” This is as a result of the discovery of Covid-19 cases, Omicron variant, in Nigeria. Britain now joins other countries, including Canada, which have taken similar action against Nigeria over Omicron.

” Let me say straight away that it’s up to the Presidential Steering Committee (PSC) to respond to this action by the British government and others, and I have no doubt that the Committee will respond appropriately.

” However, as the Spokesman for the Federal Government, I can say, without mincing words, that the decision by the British government to put Nigeria on the red list, just because of less than two dozen cases of Omicron which, by the way, did not originate in Nigeria, is unjust, unfair, punitive, indefensible and discriminatory. The decision is also not driven by science.

“We sincerely hope the British government will immediately review the decision to put Nigeria on its red list and rescind it immediately. Nigeria has handled the Covid-19 pandemic with utmost responsibility and based on science, and has rightly earned global accolades for its efforts.

“Nigeria does not belong on any country’s red list,” he added.
