Speaking at the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 daily briefing on Thursday in Abuja, the minister explained that this principle meant carriers from all countries that banned flights from Nigeria would also not be allowed to fly into Nigeria.
Sirika was represented at the briefing by the Director General of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, Captain Musa Nuhu.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that flights from Nigeria are among those banned by the European Union countries when they opened their airspaces on July 1, 2020.
