Henceforth, any passenger flying into Nigeria without carrying a negative COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test will be subjected to a fine of $3,500.

“Flying passengers that do not have a negative COVID-19-19 PCR test to Nigeria will attract a penalty of $3,500 per passenger”.

The NCAA acknowledged the difficulties several intending passengers to the country are having with the use of the online platform for uploading information, making payments and printing QR codes required for travel to Nigeria.
