The presidency has debunked a report calculating that the United Arab Emirates has lifted the visa restriction on Nigerian travellers.
According to the false report, the resumption took effect from March 4, 2024.
Special Adviser Information and Strategy to President Bola Tinubu, Bayo Onanuga debunked the report in a post on his X handle on Tuesday.
He posted, “UAE has not resumed visa issuance to Nigerians. The document in circulation is not authorised either by the Nigerian government or the UAE.”
In October 2022, the UAE implemented a ban on citizens from approximately 20 African nations from entering its borders.
