On Thursday, the United Arab Emirates authorities announced that it would extend the ban on Nigerian flights to Dubai until 20th March, 2021.

This was contained in a statement by the Public Relations Officer of the Emirate Airlines, who said that customers from both Abuja and Lagos would not be accepted for travel prior to or including this date.

The statement, however, failed to reveal if Emirates flights from Dubai to Lagos and Abuja will continue as scheduled.
