The Federal Government has asked potential passengers that will be coming into the country to pay extra for Polymerise Chain Reaction (PCR) tests from a certified private lab listed on the travel portal.

This disclosure was made via the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture Twitter handle.

According to the information available on the ministry’s twitter handle, the mandatory repeat PCR test will be conducted 7 days after arrival, and subsequently after the test 1.

What they are saying:

It tweeted, “MANDATORY PAYMENT FOR REPEAT PCR TEST: Flying to Nigeria? You must pay for your repeat PCR test.

“5,000+ passengers will come into Nigeria when all airports re-open. PCR testing prevents positive cases from coming into Nigeria.”

“Test 1: Mandatory PCR test within 5 days before departure.”

“Test 2: Mandatory repeat PCR test, 7 days after arrival.

“Pay for your repeat test from a certified private lab on the travel portal.”

What you should know: Presently, Antibody testing and PCR testing are the dominant ways that global healthcare systems are testing citizens for COVID-19.

Both prevent positive cases from coming into Nigeria. Further checks at the Nigeria International Travel Portal revealed that;

Passengers are also requested to upload their COVID-19 PCR NEGATIVE results on to the national payment portal and bring along an electronic or hard copy of the result.

Payment for a repeat (second) PCR test to be done upon arrival in Nigeria. This portal will provide passengers with the options of where and when to carry out the PCR test.

Passengers will be given an appointment date and time to present themselves at the Laboratory for a repeat COVID-19 PCR test on the 7th day after arrival.

A list of accredited private laboratory providers across the country will be available on the portals.
