There are indications that the visa restrictions by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), may soon be resolved as President Bola Tinubu meets officials of the UAE, at the Presidential Villa, at the State House.
VOP Business gathered that the UAE officials are scheduled to meet the President, after which the official position will be released on the latest development on the visa row between the two countries.
Yusuf Tiggar, the minister of foreign affairs, in September, assured that discussions were on between Nigeria and UAE, to resolve the visa and flights issues.
The Minister made the clarification after the UAE officials debunked reports that the UAE had lifted the visa ban, following President Tinubu meeting with UAE’s President, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in Abu Dhabi
You will recall also that UAE had banned visa issuance to citizens from Nigeria and 19 other African countries, in October, 2022, leading to the stoppage of flights between both countries, after Dubai’s Emirates airline suspended its operations in Nigeria citing trapped revenues.
