The Presidency said on Tuesday that the United Arab Emirates has not lifted its visa ban on Nigerians.
The Presidential Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, disclosed this via his X handle on Tuesday evening.
He wrote: “UAE has not resumed visa issuance to Nigerians. The document in circulation is not authorised either by the Nigerian government or the UAE.”
Onanuga a few hours earlier shared a document stating that the UAE had lifted its visa ban on Nigerians after two years of diplomatic row.
About two years ago, the Dubai government imposed visa restrictions on Nigerians in the wake of COVID-19 and the behaviour of some nationals of other countries. Nigeria and the UAE have also had a diplomatic row involving flight allocations.
