JUST IN: FG Postpones Resumption Date For Int’l Flight
The Federal Government has postponed the date for the resumption of international flights.
This was announced Thursday evening during the Presidential briefing on COVID-19 in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
Presidential TaskForce on COVID-19 in its twitter handle, said the Secretary to Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha while briefing the media said, “Exactly 6 months ago on February 27, 2020, the Minister of Health broke the news of Nigeria’s index case of #COVID19 from Ogun state.
“Immediately after the announcement, knowing our very frail state of health facilities, @NigeriaGov under the leadership of President @MBuhari started putting in place containment measures to help meet the challenges that had started crippling the economies and exposed inadequacies even in the best health systems.
“The PTF would like to draw our attention to the subtle change in the epicentres of the virus. We all recall that Kano, Lagos and Ogun states were the initial epicentres; and these to Uyo at a time and now Plateau state.”
Musa Shuaibu Nuhu, the Director General/Chief Executive Officer (DG/CEO) of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), was quoted to have said, “We have now fixed Sept. 5, 2020 for the resumption of international flights”
The Ministry of Aviation also wrote; “Regret to announce that the international flights resumption earlier scheduled for 29th August has been shifted to 5th September 2020.”
