The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has finally announced that it will lift the travel restrictions imposed on 12 African countries, including Nigeria.

UAE Lift Travel Ban On Nigeria

The UAE’s National Emergency and Crisis Management Authority (NCEMA) announced in a Twitter post on Wednesday that it will resume passenger flights in the affected countries from Saturday, January 29, 2022.

The tweet reads, “From January 29, entry into the UAE for arrivals from Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Nigeria, the Republic of the Congo, the Republic of South Africa, Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia and Zimbabwe is allowed again.”

KanyiDaily recalls that the UAE had imposed the travel ban on Nigeria and others in the wake of the outbreak of the Omicron Covid-19 variant.
