Nigerians were reportedly banned from Dubia with their multiplication of their Visas rejected, NATIONAL PANEL gathered.
According to the Daily Trust, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) was said to have slammed a visa ban on Nigerians seeking to visit Dubai.
We also learnt that the ban of Nigerians from visiting the Dubai was dispersed in a notice administered to the country’s trade partners in Nigeria, including travel agents.
This came up, weeks after the country fastened the visa process for its prospective visitors.
In the latest decision which also affects virtually all black African nations, the UAE authorities in the notice said, “All Dubai applications submitted are now rejected”, adding that the rejections will be sent in batches.
The rejections, according to the notice, “are general for Nigerians and approvals are on hold at the moment.”
It equally specified that there would be no refund for rejected applications.
No reason was given for the drastic measure taken by the UAE.
“Kindly advise your clients to resubmit C2=A0 applications when the issue is resolved between both governments”, the notice to the Nigerian travel agents further declared.
The UAE has imposed a series of restrictions on Nigeria which has straitened the diplomatic relationship between the two countries in recent times.
As of press time, the Federal Government is yet to react to the latest decision. -Daily Trust.
