2baba Idibia drags NCDC over frustrating Nigerians travelling abroad

Music Icon, 2baba Idibia has expressed his anger caused by the management of Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) over delayed flight caused Nigerians travelling out of the country.

In a video he shared on his official Instagram page, he decried the poor handling of covid-19 testing for travellers, which upon testing will fail to get the Quick Response (QR) code that shows their results from the NCDC website, leaving travelers stranded.

The NCDC website states that a pre-boarding COVID-19 PCR test must be done within 96 hours before departure.

In the video he said, "Ridiculous @ncdcgov compulsory covid 19 arrival test portal collects N50k per passenger and fails to deliver QR code. Passengers stranded. Business and personal commitments messed up. Who bears responsibility for this?"

He continued in a series of writeup, "NCDC or whatever portal, you people better wake up. You are causing serious hardship for people travelling. You go dey airport them go say pay one thing...what kind of wickedness is that?'' he asked.

"Just imagine Nigerians stranded in the airport because...this is totally unacceptable. It is annoying. This is wickedness."
