•Issues new guidelines on coronavirus prevention
Olawale Olaleye
Concerned by the new wave of Covid-19 in some parts of the world, the federal government has banned passengers, who have visited India, Brazil and Turkey in the last 14 days from entering the country as part of precautionary measures to minimise the risk of a surge in the cases of the disease introduced to Nigeria from other countries.
This new travel advisory will, however, come into effect from Tuesday, May 4, 2021 and subject to review after an initial period of 4 weeks, the federal government added.
But, in order to ensure no airline treats the new guidelines with levity, the federal government, has also imposed a fine of $3,500 per passenger on any airline that ignores these instructions.

For the New Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, his appointment isnât a tea party, writes Olawale Olaleye
The appointment and subsequent decoration of officer Usman Alkali Baba as the nationâs new inspector general of police is not one to attract envy. Landing such a good job at a rather inauspicious time is no less a delicate balance, which of course, declines all the flashes and pizzas, given a different epoch.
Perhaps, Baba is not unawares of his current job description, not as a police officer per se, but as one, who has just been handed the most unattractive assignment of securing an âuncivil populationâ. Heâd acknowledged the state of Imo State and admitted there was a need for clean-up in the Southeast state.
