The House of Representatives has asked the federal government to enhance security surveillance at all international entry points in response to the new COVID-19 XEC variant.
The lower chamber also called on the government to provide thermal scanners, infrared thermometers for temperature screening, and deploy personnel to carry out screening and quarantine services for all inbound passengers entering the country.
This resolution followed a motion of urgent public importance moved by Uyime Idem (PDP, Akwa Ibom) during Tuesday’s plenary session.
