Tinubu’s Visit To UAE: Visa Ban On Nigeria Lifted, Emirates, Etihad Resume Operations
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and President of the United Arab Emirates, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, on Monday in Abu Dhabi, finalized a historic agreement, which resulted in the immediate cessation of the visa ban placed on Nigerian travelers.
Furthermore, by this historic agreement, both Etihad Airlines and Emirates Airlines are to immediately resume flight schedules into and out of Nigeria, without any further delay.
As negotiated between the two Heads of State, this immediate restoration of flight activity, through these two airlines and between the two countries, did not involve any immediate payment by the Nigerian government.
These were contained in a statement by the Apecial Adviser to the President, (Media & Publicity), Chief Ajuri Ngelale, dated September 11, 2023.
In recognition of President Tinubu’s economic development diplomacy drive and proposals presented to his counterpart, an agreed framework was established, and this will involve several billions of U.S. dollars worth of new investments into the Nigerian economy across multiple sectors, including defense, agriculture and others, by the investment arms of the Government of the United Arab Emirates.
President Tinubu however, said that he was pleased to have successfully negotiated a joint, new foreign exchange liquidity programme between the two Governments, which will be announced in detail in the coming weeks.
The President then commended the UAE President, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, “for his unalloyed friendship and his determined effort to join hands with him to fully normalize and reset to excellence, the standard of relations between the two important countries.”
