Nigeria became the 11th country to go on the UK’s red list for international travel. PRESIDENT of the African Development Bank (AfDB), Dr Akinwumi Adesina, has also said the travel ban on some African countries over Omicron is “very unfair, non-scientific and discriminatory.”Adesina, who said this through his verified Twitter handle @akin_adesina, urged the western countries to lift the travel ban on African countries. He queried why the travel ban was not placed on non-African countries where Omicron had also been found. And Britain has clamped a travel ban on us. The rush to punish Africa suggests that African countries have now become the epicentre of COVID-19, when this is far from reality.
