FG Sets December 1st Deadline For Civil Servants To Take COVID-19 Vaccine

The Federal Government has set a deadline of December 1 for civil servants to take the COVID-19 vaccine.

 

Chairman of the Presidential Steering Committee on COVID-19 and Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, announced this at a briefing on Wednesday in Abuja.

 

According to him, “With effect from 1st December 2021, Federal Government employees shall be required to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination, or present a negative COVID-19 PCR test result done within 72 hours to gain access to their offices in all locations within Nigeria and our Missions.

 

“An appropriate service-wide advisory/circular will be issued to guide the process”, he stated.

He also disclosed that the government has removed South Africa, Brazil, and Turkey from the list of countries where travellers have been restricted from coming into Nigeria as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Mustapha explained that the government took the decision to lift the ban following an emergency meeting held before the briefing.
