 FG Repatriates 190 Nigerians From UAE Day After Announcing Visa Ban Lift


The Federal Government has repatriated 190 Nigerians from the United Arab Emirates.

“You are aware that Nigeria has been discussing with the United Arab Emirates the issue of visas for Nigerian passport holders going to the United Arab Emirates.


“Today, an agreement has been reached on that, and effective today, July 15th, Nigerian passport holders are able to obtain visas to go to the United Arab Emirates.“Details of that will be provided to you later today when we put out a statement. But I can tell you that the agreement has been reached and effective from today, Nigerian passport holders intending to travel to the UAE are able to do so,” he had said.


However, there has not been any official communication yet from the UAE authorities on the agreement.
