You're referring to the travel restrictions imposed by the Federal Government (FG) of Nigeria in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
On March 23, 2020, the Nigerian Government announced a travel ban on 12 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and others, to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

The travel ban, which was initially imposed for a period of four weeks, was later extended until further notice.
Under the travel ban, all travelers from these countries are not allowed to enter Nigeria, except for:
- Nigerian citizens and residents who are returning to the country
- Diplomats and officials on official duty
- Cargo and freight aircraft

The travel ban was implemented to reduce the risk of importing the virus into the country and to protect the health and safety of Nigerians.

- Lockdown of major cities and towns
- Restrictions on public gatherings and events
- Mandatory use of face masks in public places
