South Sudan had refused entry to Nigerian Foreign Service officers
deployed to the country because of Ebola.
In his contribution, the South Sudan Ambassador to Nigeria, Parmena
Mangar Riak, claimed that after the WHO certification on October 20, some
Nigerians received their visas to travel to the country last week.
Dean of the Diplomatic Corps and Cameroon Ambassador to Nigeria,
Salaheddine Abbas-Ibrahima, claimed that many countries had lifted restrictions
on travel from people from Nigeria after the WHO certification.
He assured the minister that “in a matter of days,” there would be total
lifting of the ban on restrictions of travel by Nigerians by the remaining
countries.
The ambassador, who did not name the countries that had relaxed the ban,
said that Cameroon would take advantage of the Ebola information centre
established by the Federal Government.
He said the centre would serve as a source of information for countries
to plan their national response to the deadly virus.
