The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) on Saturday said international flights will be restricted from the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos and Nnamdi Azikwe International airport in Abuja.
The decision was necessary as a measure to limit the spread of the coronavirus pandemic in the country, NCAA said.
The restriction, which will last for a month, will come into effect from Monday, March 23.
However, emergency and essential flights are exempted from the restriction, according to the NCAA.
Meanwhile, domestic flights will continue normal operations at all airports, the NCAA statement, signed by its Director-General, Musa Nuhu, said.
