  • He emphasised that it is up to the UAE government to make the official announcement

The Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, has revealed that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government plans to lift the visa ban on Nigerian travelers soon.

In a 44-minute interview with Otega Ogra, the Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu, published on the official YouTube page of the State House of Nigeria, Keyamo noted that a resolution was reached between President Tinubu and UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan during President Tinubu’s working visit to the UAE in September 2023.

He explained that although the UAE initially listed additional processes to be completed before the ban could be officially lifted, the Nigerian government has since completed all necessary steps, paving the way for an imminent announcement from the UAE government.

“After that high-level meeting, Mr. President, credited to him, made things very easy for us all. We did our follow-ups as his ministers. We have done everything. We have resolved everything. Just wait for the announcement from the UAE government, and that announcement is imminent,” Keyamo stated.

Keyamo further mentioned that he is aware of the specific date when the travel restriction will be lifted, but he emphasised that it is up to the UAE government to make the official announcement.

The lifting of the ban is expected to restore ease of travel for Nigerian citizens to the UAE, thereby enhancing bilateral relations and cooperation between the two countries.
