Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, says the United Arab Emirates (UAE) will lift the visa restriction on Nigerian travellers soon.
Keyamo said the country has observed all protocols to facilitate the visa ban reversal.
The minister spoke on Saturday during an interview with the State House media.
“We have done everything. We have resolved everything. Just wait for the announcement from the UAE government, and that announcement is imminent,” Keyamo said.
“They would announce. I want to give it to them to announce the date.”
Speaking further, the minister said he is privy to the date when the travel restriction will be officially lifted, but would wait for the official announcement.
UAE and Nigeria have been engaging in a diplomatic row over flight allocations since 2021.
