FG Reviews
Visa Policy.
Federal Government said it would undertake a review of
the nation’s visa policy to attract foreign investments and encourage
visitations to the country.
The government described as unacceptable the numbers of
visitors into the country last year compared to the population, resources and
opportunities available, asserting its policy on visa has to be reviewed to
meet the standards of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu.
Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, stated this at
the Transcorp Hotel, Abuja during a stakeholder’s consultative meeting on
Nigeria visa.
The Minister further maintained the country would
consider a visa policy that attract investments and encourage visitors to visit
Nigeria from across the world without putting the country security in jeopardy.
He said though it was difficult striking a balance
between easy access to visa and national security considering its delicate
nature but if gotten right, it would no doubt lead to a healthy investment
promotion for Nigeria.
