BREAKING: ITS FAKE NEWS, UAE Yet To Lift Ban On Visa Services For Nigerians – Says Presidency—-As against the purported news spreading in thee media space, FG has debunked the news saying the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is yet to resume visa services for Nigerian citizens wishing to visit the country.
This was made known by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, on his “X” page on Tuesday, March 5.
Recall, in October 2022, the UAE implemented a ban on citizens from approximately 20 African nations from entering its borders.
Among the affected countries are Nigeria, Uganda, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Cameroon, Liberia, Burundi, Republic of Guinea, Gambia, Togo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Senegal, Benin, Ivory Coast, Congo, Rwanda, Burkina Faso, Guinea Bissau, Comoros, and the Dominican Republic.
The Emirati authorities issued a notice to trade partners and travel agents, instructing them to reject all applications.
Since the ban, the UAE and Nigeria have been embroiled in a diplomatic dispute concerning flight allocations and travel restrictions.
Reacting on Tuesday, Onanuga said: “UAE has not resumed visa issuance to Nigerians. The document in circulation is not authorized either by the Nigerian government or the UAE.”
