The United Arab Emirates has granted visa approval to Nigerian citizens, marking a significant milestone in the bilateral relations between the two nations.
This move follows a meeting between President Bola Tinubu and UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in September 2023, aimed at strengthening diplomatic ties and resolving long-standing issues, according to Channels TV.
The visa approval is expected to boost trade, tourism, and cultural exchange between Nigeria and the UAE, a top destination for Nigerian migrants and tourists.
The development has been hailed as a major breakthrough, with many Nigerians expressing optimism about the opportunities it presents.
Former presidential candidate Adewole Adebayo, who has been critical of President Tinubu’s economic policies, has urged the government to capitalize on this development to improve the country’s economy.
As Nigeria and the UAE continue to strengthen their relations, this move is seen as a significant step towards deepening economic cooperation and people-to-people exchanges between the two nations.
