President of the United States of America, Joe Biden, started his first day in office by reversing some actions of former President Donald Trump, and the travel ban on Nigeria as well as other countries weren’t left out.
In his first executive orders, Biden reversed Trump’s policies on the coronavirus pandemic, immigration, and climate change.
Biden cancelled the ban which restricted travel to the U.S. from Muslim nations. The countries are Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, Chad, North Korea, Venezuela, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, Nigeria, Sudan, and Tanzania.
At the Oval Office’s Resolute Desk, Biden rolled out 15 orders and two other action items.
President Biden also made mask-wearing in all federal buildings and during interstate travel mandatory.

“It’s requiring, as I said all along, where I have authority, mandating masks be worn, social distancing be kept on federal property,” the President told reporters.
He also signed orders for America to formally rejoin the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Paris climate agreement.
