“The ban affected the economic interests of both countries and put many Nigerians who have businesses in the UAE in difficult conditions. Both country’s interests in trade and investments, security and tourism will now be strengthened by this good news.
“Many Nigerians whose business transactions were put on hold because of the ban will now dust their visas and their files and resume their businesses. This is a big economic growth for Nigeria as a country and its citizens. “Just check the opportunities lost in agriculture, tourism, trade, investments, peace and security since the travel ban was placed. Consider the threat to the bilateral relationship between both countries. You will understand that President Bola Tinubu deserved commendation for working effortlessly to see to the lifting of the travel ban”, Onukwubiri said.
Onukwubiri advised Nigerian travellers to the UAE and other countries to always consider the image and the integrity of the country while sojourning in foreign lands.All rights reserved.
