• Britain’s decision based on discrimination, not scientific but prejudice, claims FG• It’s a temporary precautionary measure to prevent further Omicron cases in UK – Envoy

Also, Nigeria’s High Commissioner to the UK, Alhaji Sharafa Ishola, described the travel ban as apartheid. But the Head of Communications, British High Commission, Hurlock, said the UK was aware of the significant impact of the travel ban. The commission stated that it would continue to work with the local authorities in tackling the pandemic.But earlier on Monday, the Minister of Information and Culture, Mohammed, condemned travel bans by the UK, Canada, Indonesia, Hong Kong and others.

Mohammed argued that the decision of Britain was based on discrimination and prejudice and not science because so far, no one had died of the Omicron strain. He said even the United Nations had faulted the recent travel bans, adding that it was nonsensical and nothing but travel apartheid. “I don’t think the issue is how many people have tested positive or how many people Britain claims have tested positive. My position is very clear. Is travel ban the answer? The answer is no. Number one, where is the origin of this Omicron variant? It is definitely not Africa or Nigeria,” Mohammed said.

He said the vaccine apartheid whereby developed countries denied developing nations vaccines was what propelled COVID-19 mutations. It disclosed this in a notice, titled, “Restrictions for travel from Nigeria to the UK,” which was sent to travel agents of the international carrier that operate in Nigeria.
