 There are strong indica­tions that the UAE government may have rescinded its decision against Nigerian travellers as some of the international carri­ers which earlier rejected to board Nigerians seem to be now ready to airlift Nigerian passen­gers from Tuesday.

UAE had disallowed quite a number of Nigerians to enter the country on Monday following a circular issued to all the foreign airlines.

The circular titled: ‘Dubai Travel Restriction Up­date,’ dated December 13, 2021 with the reference number: PSA 12/068/2021, directed car­riers not to airlift Nigerians and citizens of the Congo Democrat­ic Republic only from Africa.

The circular said: “Due to an increasing number of COVID Positive passengers at destina­tion, it is decided to suspend accepting passengers to U.A.E from Nigeria and Congo DRC (FIH) only.

“This is effective today, 13th December, 2021. Please ensure 100% compliance.”

However, the latest update shows that most airlines are ready to resume boarding for Nigerians today being Tuesday.
