Nigeria, UAE political issues

The discretionary strain among Nigeria and the UAE has been continuous, with the UAE forcing a visa prohibition on Nigerians almost quite a while back, coming from different political debates.

One significant issue included Dubai's Emirates Aircraft ending trips to Nigeria after the National Bank of Nigeria couldn't transmit an expected $850 million in income to the UAE.

In June, after a few rounds of dealings with UAE specialists, the Nigerian government guaranteed its residents that the visa boycott would before long be lifted. Around a similar time, it was reported that Nigeria had paid 98% of the $850 million owed, flagging advancement in settling the debate.

This removal happens against the setting of progressing discretionary strains between the two countries, which might be established in different undisclosed issues. Regardless of this, reports recently showed that the two nations agreed to lift travel limitations on Nigerians.

The Unified Middle Easterner Emirates Government in July 2024 declared it had at last lifted visa limitations forced on Nigerians with quick impact.
