The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) says, media reports that Covid-19 vaccination proof is required for travel both on local and international flights is not true.
This is coming on the heels of a report by some local tabloids and social media, including “The Street Journal” that the Federal Government through NCAA has given a directive that from 1st December 2021 travellers without proof of vaccination will not be permitted to board both local and international flights.
Mr. Sam Adurogboye, spokesman for the NCAA says in a statement, “We want to state categorically that no such directive emanated from the Federal Government through NCAA”.
He urges the public to discountenance such news as there is no iota of truth in it.
He adds that, “On the other hand, we want to enjoin purveyor of such unfounded news to cross-check facts before publishing”.
Adurogboye stresses that, the Authority will continue to support all Federal Government initiatives to curb the spread of the Delta variant.
He states that, the NCAA expects strict adherence to safety protocols in and out of the airports by wearing our facemask, washing our hands periodically, using alcohol-based hand sanitizer, maintaining social distance and avoiding crowded space.
