The United Kingdom on Wednesday unveiled its largest Visa Application Centre in Africa, located in Ikeja, Lagos.
Operated by VFS Global, the new centre marks a significant step in enhancing visa application services for Nigerians travelling to the UK.
This was contained in a statement by the British High Commission in Lagos on Wednesday.
With additional centres in Abuja and Victoria Island, Lagos, now operational since November 19, the facility in Ikeja is designed to streamline visa submissions and offer applicants a seamless experience.
The British Deputy High Commissioner, Jonny Baxter, attended the launch in Ikeja, emphasising the importance of the UK-Nigeria relationship.
He expressed optimism that the new centre would provide improved services for applicants.
“I am delighted to witness the opening of this, the largest visa application centre in Africa. Nigeria remains one of the UK’s most important partners, and we hope that VFS deliver ever-improving services for those applying for visas to the UK,” Baxter said.
