 Nigerians Face High Schengen Visa Rejection Rates Amid Rising Emigration A Henley Global Mobility Report reveals that 40.8% of Schengen visa applications from Nigerians in 2024 were denied, with 42,940 rejections out of 105,926 submissions. Nigeria ranks among the top 20 countries with the highest visa denial rates and 11th for Schengen destinations. The surge in rejections mirrors increasing emigration driven by economic challenges, including record-high inflation, unemployment, and a cost-of-living crisis.   The report highlights systemic barriers tied to the Nigerian passport's low global ranking (94th) and stricter visa policies. Africa faces disproportionately high Schengen visa denial rates, with Nigeria among six African countries in the top 10 globally for rejections. Experts warn of a widening global mobility divide, disproportionately impacting African nations.

 POLICE ARRESTS INDIVIDUAL FOR SPREADING DISINFORMATION: REAFFIRMS ZERO TOLERANCE FOR FAKE NEWS


Restates Commitment to National Peace and Security


The Nigeria Police Force has taken decisive action to curb the spread of fake news, disinformation, and incitement capable of widening the trust gap between the Police and members of the public who are critical stakeholders in national peace and security. On December 8, 2024, operatives of the Force apprehended one Destiny Ekhorutomuen, a 38-year-old suspect, in Uhunmwonde Local Government Area of Edo State. The suspect allegedly created and operated multiple social media accounts to disseminate false and inciting content aimed at provoking the public against the Nigeria Police.


The Nigeria Police reiterates its zero tolerance for acts aimed at threatening the nation’s stability or tarnishing the reputation of the police and other government institutions. This deliberate spread of falsehoods erodes public trust, undermines societal cohesion, and poses significant risks to national security. 


In this regard, the Nigeria Police Force strongly warns against the misuse of social media and other communication platforms to propagate fake news or incite disorder. Such acts are criminal and punishable under the law. Citizens are urged to exercise caution and responsibility in their use of information, as the collective peace and unity of the nation depend on it.


The NPF reassures the public of its unwavering commitment to upholding law and order. It will continue to identify and prosecute individuals or groups engaging in activities that threaten Nigeria’s peace and security.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
