Nigeria orders civil servants to show COVID-19 vaccination or negative test from Dec 1

Nigeria will require civil servants to show proof of vaccination against COVID-19 or a negative test for the disease to gain access to their offices from the beginning of December, a presidential committee said on Wednesday. The presidential committee said unvaccinated government workers will need to present a negative test result done within 72-hours before they are granted access to their offices across the country and its embassies abroad. 'An appropriate service wide advisory/circular will be issued to guide the process,' Boss Mustapha, chairman of the presidential steering committee on COVID-19, said in a statement.
