The Nigerian Government has reached an agreement with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to allow Nigerian passport holders to obtain visas for travel to the Arab nation.
Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris, disclosed this when he briefed State House correspondents following the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting.
The announcement comes more than two years after the UAE suspended visa issuance to Nigerians following a period of protracted diplomatic row with Africa’s most populous nation.
It also comes about two months after the UAE national carrier Emirates Airlines announced the resumption of flights to Nigeria.
The airline said in May that its daily Lagos-Dubai flights would resume from October 1, 2024.
