The Federal Government of Nigeria has begun formal talks with the United States and the United Arab Emirates following recent changes to their visa policies affecting Nigerian citizens.
According to presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga, the U.S. cited two reasons for reducing visa validity.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed Nigerian agencies to strengthen international cooperation and ensure full compliance with global obligations.
On the UAE side, Nigeria says it hasn’t received any formal notification of new visa restrictions, but confirmed that visa processing is gradually resuming.
The President reaffirmed his commitment to protecting Nigerians abroad and strengthening diplomatic ties.
