The Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Zubairu Dada made the appeal
on Saturday when he met with the Saudi Arabian Ambassador to
Nigeria, Ambassador Faisal bin Ebraheem Al-Ghamdi.
Dada in a statement by his spokesman Ibrahim Aliyu urged the Saudi
Authorities to review the travel restrictions its placed on Nigerians over
the Omicron outbreak as already done by many countries who have
earlier banned Nigeria but have since reversed their stands having
studied the achievements of Nigeria so far in the fight against the
Omicron variant and the Coronavirus pandemic in general.
While commending the cordial relationship that existed for years and
continues to exist between the two countries, the Minister expressed
optimism for a timely response to Nigeria’s request from Saudi Arabia.
This is as he pledged to continue to give every necessary support and
cooperation to the ambassador in the discharge of his responsibility.
