FG reiterates commitment to resolving the visa dispute with the US, UAE

The Federal Government has assured that it is committed to maintaining strong diplomatic relations with the US and UAE despite recent visa policy changes affecting Nigerian citizens. 

This was contained in a statement by presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, saying that relevant agencies are working to address concerns through constructive channels.

Onanuga recalled that the US government had cited high visa overstay rates and record access issues as reasons for the policy adjustment, which is part of its global visa reciprocity process, noting that President Tinubu has directed federal agencies to ensure compliance with international obligations and strengthen identity authentication for consular services.

The Federal Government urged Nigerians to respect host country immigration regulations and uphold permit integrity, assuring that it remains committed to deepening bilateral relations with the US and UAE, pursuing best outcomes for citizens abroad in line with its 4-D Foreign Policy agenda.
