The United Arab Emirates has inaugurated a visa application
and document attestation centre at the office of the UAE Consulate General in
Lagos.
This was contained in a statement sent by the
office of the UAE Consulate, stating that the event took place on Tuesday.
The inauguration was led by the Consul General Dr Abdulla Al
Mandoos and was attended by the Special Adviser to the Lagos State Government
on Sustainable Development Goals and Investment, Solape Hammond; Comptroller
General of Immigration for Lagos State, Ahmed Aliyu; Country Manager of
Emirates Airlines, Paulos Legesse; Vice President of the Lagos Chamber of
Commerce and Industry, Gbenga Ismail; Head of UAE Visa Centre, Abdulla
Alqahtani and several media houses.
Leading the visitors on a tour of the centre, Mandoos
reaffirmed that the UAE had worked towards fostering its bilateral relations
with Nigeria.
He said, “The vision to establish a Visa and Attestation
office in the Centre of Excellence has been in the works for a while now. Lagos
being the economic capital of Nigeria with over 20 million in population, the
centre aims to put to ease the bilateral business processes between both
countries.
“The best equipment
has been installed to ensure the process remains fast and convenient with a
target of six minutes to complete the entire process from the walk-in.”
“With this new development, we anticipate that the people of
Lagos and neighbouring states no longer feel compelled to travel to Abuja to
process visas and attest their documents as they can now achieve all that in
Lagos State.”
