Travel Ban: Nigeria Paying For Condoning Errors of Commission’ - Tomori | Daily Report Nigeria
SHARE
A professor of virology, Oyewale Tomori has condemned the travel ban imposed on Nigeria by Canada and the United Kingdom.

Following the discovery of the Omicron COVID variant in South Africa, UK and Canada issued travel bans on South Africa and other African countries — including Nigeria.

The action has generated condemnation from many Africans, with some describing the ban as apartheid.

Tomori, who spoke on Monday during a summit with the theme ‘Global Health Security Threat: Repositioning to End the Pandemic and Build Back Better’, said this is happening because the federal government of Nigeria “condoned errors of commission”.

The summit was organised by the presidential steering committee (PSC).

According to the Virologist: “I woke up today to hear that Canada no longer recognises my genuine vaccination card. And Britain has clamped a travel ban on us. A few days ago, I had to know there was Omicron in Nigeria from outside. The same Canada was telling me that Nigerians who travelled out with negative COVID lab results were omicronised, before my own CDC finally tells me that we had the variant, detected in samples collected from people who recently travelled from South Africa,”

“Were they people on the entourage ofPresident Ramaphosa? They did not tell. We painfully call the reactions of the UK and Canada racism, inequity. But I say we are paying for condoning our errors of commission and overlooking our errors of omission.”

Speaking further, he said: Mr. President, the current generation of Nigerians is much smarter than my generation. Give them one-tenth of the enabling opportunity and environment which good governance gave my generation, and Nigeria will be donating vaccines to poor Europe as India is doing; Nigeria will be providing loans to China, and not the other way round,”

“The first epidemic we must address is the one affecting our culture and true Nigerianess. We must have a nation where national interest buries self-interest. Otherwise, this summit will become a mirage and a vapour. It will be burnt to ashes by the fire of evil that plagues us.

“Unless we build back better on our culture, the outcome of the summit will descend into the valley of the disregarded and disremembered, and become another expensive exercise in futility.”
