The Qatari authorities have banned Nigerians without valid certificate of vaccination against polio from their country with effect from June 29, 2015, as a precautionary measure to prevent the spread of the disease in that country.
The Deputy Director, Press, Federal Capital Territory Administration, Mohammed Sule, in a statement on Sunday said government attention was drawn to the ban by the Department of State Services.
In view of this, it said the FCT Permanent Secretary, John Chukwu, has impressed it on intending travellers, particularly those resident in the Federal Capital Territory, on the need to obtain duly signed and stamped yellow book on polio and other communicable diseases.
