Dele Momodu has expressed his displeasure after FG barred international flights from coming into Nigeria for one month in a bid to curb the spread of Coronavirus. In a statement released by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and signed by Musa Nuhu (NCAA Director General), it was announced that international flights will be barred from coming into Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, from Monday March 23 to April 23 2020. This comes after the Federal Government ordered the closure of three international airports in the country: Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano; Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu; and the Port Harcourt International Airport.
However, media entrepreneur Dele Momodu believes this decision made by the FG will not be favourable for a lot of people – Nigerians and foreigners alike – and he kicked against it.
He wrote:
“As always with us in Nigeria, we have once again seen the result of lack of preparation and coordination with the ill-informed and unnecessary decision to paralyse an entire nation and shut out all its citizens like orphans! I would have expected our leaders to give us comprehensive details of their plans instead of terse instructions.
