The Presidency says the lifting of the visa ban on Nigerians by the United Arab Emirates doesn’t mean that things will go back as they used to, especially as it concerns UAE visa applications and processing.

The Media aide to the President, Ajuri Ngelale in a television interview shortly after the deal between his principal President Bola Tinubu, and his UAE counterpart Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan went public, said things would be done differently to address some loopholes that caused the visa ban.

Ngelale noted that one of the major challenges with visa applications, visa processing, and concerning Nigerians being able to migrate to the UAE for example, was the fact that there was a laxity on the part of certain visa processes that were being made that created a lack of specificity and lack of diligent evaluation concerning who is traveling to the UAE and why they are traveling.

The visa ban on Nigerians was lifted by the UAE almost one year after the decision following an intervention by Tinubu who met with the UAE leader, which also means that Etihad Airlines and Emirates Airlines are to immediately resume flight schedules into and out of Nigeria.
