Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NIDCOM, has applauded the swift intervention of President Bola Tinubu with the leadership of the United Arab Emirates, UAE, which resulted in the lifting of visa ban on Nigerians.
Chairman of the Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa in a statement said with this landmark unique diplomatic achievement, Nigerians working in the UAE, who could not have their work permits renewed, can now heave a sigh of relief.
The NIDCOM boss noted that the intervention will usher in a new era of collaboration and friendship between the two nations – Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates, adding that besides the lifting of the ban and resumption of flights into Nigeria, the bilateral parley also laid a robust foundation for substantial investments in various sectors in Nigeria.
The NIDCOM Chairman, who said she has been bombarded with calls from excited Nigerians living in the UAE, urged them to continue to be good ambassadors of the country.
Diplomatic row broke out between the two countries over a year ago due to some unresolved differences which had brought untold hardship to Nigerians travelling, as well as those living in UAE.
