This will allow Nigerian passport holders to obtain visas for travel to the Arab nation starting Monday, July 15, 2024.
While announcing this, the Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris, on Monday Following Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting.
It also comes about two months after UAE national carrier Emirates Airlines announced the resumption of flights to Nigeria. The airline said in May that its daily Lagos-Dubai flights would resume from October 1, 2024.
It should be recalled that Emirates Airlines suspended its Dubai-Lagos flights in 2022 over its inability to repatriate trapped funds in Nigeria in the heat of the diplomatic fireworks between the two countries.
