The Federal Government has published the passport numbers of 100 travellers, who failed to undergo the mandatory COVID-19 test after their return to Nigeria.
Details of the passports were published by the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 on Saturday.

It said the restrictions started from January 1, 2021, and would last till June 30, 2021.
The PTF also confirmed that the affected passengers have been notified and will be prevented from out of the country during the period.
