Omicron: After FG issued ultimatum, UK set to remove Nigeria from red-list
The United Kingdom is reconsidering its position on red-listing Nigeria and other African countries as the Omicron variant of Covid-19 spread.
Many viewed the UK decision as discriminatory.
The Nigerian government had warned if the UK authorities to remove the country from the list to avoid taking a similar measure.
Aviation Minister Hadi Sirika had said if by Tuesday, the UK and other countries that took action against Nigeria over Omicron fail to review the policy, Nigeria would also ban travellers from the UK, Saudi Arabia and Argentina.
But according to a report, the UK is about to remove Nigeria and others from its red-list.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps reportedly convinced his colleagues that the ban should be replaced with testing.
“The move is expected to be approved this week”, The Mail on Sunday reported.
