The Federal Government has said
it is planning visa on arrival policy for foreigners wishing to visit Nigeria
in order to encourage investment in the country.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Geoffrey Onyeama disclosed this on Wednesday in a statement by his Special
Assistant, Media, Ms Sarah Sanda.
He said Nigeria and the Republic
of Namibia have agreed to strengthen cooperation in areas that will be
beneficial to both countries in particular and the African continent.
Onyeama said that the agreement
was reached at a meeting in Windhoek with Namibian Ministers led by the
country’s Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Mrs Netumbo
Nandi-Ndaitwah.
He said that the agreed mechanism
for achieving this was through a meeting of the Joint Commission which will be
held in 2020.
“We addressed recent issues
regarding the issuance of visas to Namibians and Nigerians and entry into
Namibia for Nigerians and reached very important and concrete agreements in
respect of those.
“Any Namibian wishing to obtain a
visa to Nigeria can apply and will be considered as that was the case in the
past.
“Once the requirements are met,
such a person will be issued a visa. It applies to a Nigerian wishing to go to
Namibia,” Onyeama said.
