4. Nigerian airports
Nigerian international airports were shut down on March 23 in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, and even though multiple reports have scheduled the reopening dates to June 21. However, the authorities have called plans for a June 21 reopening unrealistic and noted that the process of opening the airport doors to Nigerian and international travellers is hindered by several complications.
Five Nigerian airports were scheduled for a June 21 reopening date. This includes international airports in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Owerri, and Kano. However, as the said airports did not open on June 21, a new date has not been announced yet. What we do know is that once Nigerian international airports open, passengers will need to follow a string of precautions, including wearing face masks, having their temperature measured by the airport workers, and applying hand sanitizer before entering the plane.
