UK Government Maintains Ban on Nigeria

The British High Commission on Sunday said the United Kingdom will not reverse its travel ban on Nigeria on a threat of retaliation by the Federal Government.

The Spokesperson for the British High Commission, Dean Hurlock, said this in response to a statement issued by the Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, that UK, Canada and Saudi Arabia would be put on Nigeria’s travel ban on Tuesday.

Hurlock maintained that Britain had made it clear that travel abroad would be different this year, adding that the UK was sticking to its standard background lines.
