Buhari urges UAE to lift visa ban on Nigerians

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday urged the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to lift the visa ban on Nigerians.

The Gulf State in October last year imposed a visa ban on Nigerians following a diplomatic row between the two countries.

The president, according to a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, made the appeal in a telephone conversation with the UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
