United States President Joe Biden has commenced work in his first day in office by reversing a ban placed on Nigeria and other countries by immediate past president, Donald Trump.
The new President with his first Executive Order upturned Trump’s on the coronavirus pandemic, immigration, and climate change.
The ban which restricted travel to the U.S. from most Muslim nations was canceled by Biden.
The country affected include Nigeria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, Chad, North Korea, Venezuela, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, Sudan, and Tanzania.
The president also compelled mask wearing in all federal buildings and during interstate travel.
“It’s requiring, as I said all along, where I have authority, mandating masks be worn, social distancing be kept on federal property,” he told journalists.
President Biden also signed orders for America to formally rejoin the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Paris Climate Agreement.
He stopped Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s actions that cause family separation.
He has also halted construction of the wall along the US-Mexico border.
First News gathered that the administration will roll out a total of 53 executive actions over the next 10 days.
