The United Kingdom has suspended the processing of visitor visa applications from Nigeria as it tightens the noose on the West African country.
Recall that the Uk government had weekend included Nigeria on its ‘’red list’’ of countries placed on the travel ban.
The decision, announced in a statement issued by the commission yesterday, came hours after the UK added Nigeria to its travel red list.
“To support the UK government’s aim to protect public health from COVID-19 and associated variants of concern (VOC), UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI) will pause making decisions on visitor visa applications in all red list countries, including Nigeria, until travel restrictions are lifted,” the high commission said in a statement.
On its part, the Canadian government says it no longer accept the result of the COVID test from Nigeria, Egypt, and South Africa among others.
