Sirika said the United Arab Emirates had communicated its readiness to issue visas to Nigerians, adding that this informed the Federal Government’s decision.
Announcing the development on his Twitter handle, the minister said, “UAE has written to state that they agree to issue visas to Nigerians, consequently decision has been reached to allow Emirates to fly into Nigeria.
“Commencement of the Visa issuance is condition precedent. Please bear with this unusual situation. Many thanks.”
