Pre-arrival or post-arrival COVID-19 testing is no longer required for travelers, regardless of their vaccination status, according to a statement made on Monday by the Federal Government through the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority.
The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority informed airline operators of this notice in a letter dated December 12, 2022.
The letter states: “COVID-19 Travel Testing: Pre-departure and Post-arrival COVID-19 PCR tests are no longer required for all passengers irrespective of vaccination status. PCR tests required for all passengers who have been partial/not fully vaccinated have been suspended.”
It went on to say that, aside from the COVID-19 testing being suspended, there is no longer a requirement for passengers to wear face masks when flying.
Sam Adurogboye, general manager of public affairs for the NCAA, stated: ”That is the current state and development which is at the instance of the Presidential Steering Committee.”
