Boss Mustapha, who hails from Adamawa in a statement said: “The tragedy has not only befallen immediate families but also the Hoba and Waja Communities, the LCCN Church, the Government and people of Adamawa State as well as the nation at large.

According to the statement, the lives claimed were; Mwaniya Japhet Gajere, Isaac Dauda Shingu, Hyelakidati Samson Hananiya, Samson Eric Gandapa, and Jackson Lumanyi.

While noting that young men and women constitute a larger percentage of Nigeria’s population, he stated that their continued loss to various types of accidents potentially robs the nation of great human resources that can help develop the country and dominate the world.

Mustapha expressed his deepest condolences to the Arch-Bishop of the LCCN Church, the Hoba and Waja Communities, and the government and people of Adamawa State.

He prayed that God almighty comforts and grant their immediate families the fortitude to bear the loss and also grant the souls of the departed eternal rest.

Boss Mustapha, gave the advice on Monday at the press briefing in Abuja.

‘Ahead of the upsurge in travels for the Christmas and New Year festivities, we urge strongly that for this year, such trips should be put on hold firmly because of the risks involved. The transmission rate has simply become astronomical,’ he said.

The SGF advised that large social gatherings be avoided because there is a bigger risk of COVID-19 transmission.

During the PTF COVID-19 Press briefing on Thursday, the SGF said: “Nigeria reopened the international airspace on 5th September, with flights allowed into Lagos and Abuja for now. Other International Airports will follow in due course.

“The PTF has also released the guidelines and protocols regarding the international flights, the obligations of airlines, the pre-boarding conditions and post-boarding choices available to passengers regarding arrangements and facilities for testing. Travelers are to visit the Nigeria International Travel Portal- www.nitp.ncdc.gov.ng to register before embarking on any international travels in and out of Nigeria.

“For emphasis, I wish to reiterate that all travelers arriving in Nigeria must have tested negative for COVID-19 by PCR in country of departure pre-boarding and the PCR test must be done within 72-96 hours before departure. It is also important to note that passengers are required to remain in self-isolation post-arrival and should undergo a mandatory COVID-19 test in a designated private laboratory by the seventh day after arrival.

The PTF is aware of and working with our partners to speedily resolve the teething challenges faced by intending travellers in accessing the portal, the costs of the test on arrival, inability to complete payment online and consequential inability to board. We therefore apologise to everyone that had experienced these challenges using the platform. We assure all Nigerians and visitors to Nigeria that the PTF is working across multi-layer stakeholder platforms to ease the bottlenecks.
