Nigeria’s Aviation and Aerospace Development Minister, Festus Keyamo, announced that he has met with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Ambassador to Nigeria, Salem Saeed Al-Shamsi, to fine-tune some modalities for resuming UAE visa issuance to Nigerians and direct flights between the two countries.
This announcement, made via Keyamo’s official X (formerly Twitter) account on Monday, aligns with Information and National Orientation Minister Mohammed Idris’s statement about successful negotiations between Nigeria and the UAE. The agreement includes updated requirements for obtaining a UAE visa.
“Following the announcement of the resumption of issuance of UAE visas to Nigerians and the resumption of direct flights between both countries, earlier this evening I held a private meeting with the UAE ambassador to Nigeria, Salem Saeed Al-Shamsi to fine-tune some modalities for the resumption of these activities in view of the newly-established rapprochement,” Keyamo’s X post read.
