In its statement about Monday’s meeting between President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) did not say anything about ending the ban on Nigerian travelers getting visas.

Tinubu Spokesman Ajuri Ngelale said in a statement on Monday that the meeting with UAE government officials went well.

Ngelale said that at the meeting, disagreements about the visa ban that was put on Nigerian travelers 10 months ago and the suspension of Etihad and Emirates flights were fixed.

“Also, this historic deal says that Etihad Airlines and Emirates Airlines will start flying into and out of Nigeria right away, without any more delays,” Ngelale said.
