Tinubu orders Nigeria-UAE dispute to be resolved urgently

Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu wants the problems with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) that caused issues with flights and visas to be fixed right away.

Last year, the UAE stopped giving visas to Nigerians because Emirates airlines couldn’t fly there anymore. This happened because the airline couldn’t bring back money from Nigeria because of currency restrictions.

Emirates said at that time that it had not been successful in making progress, despite trying hard to talk with the relevant authorities to find a workable solution.

On Thursday, the president said the issue should be resolved right away, mentioning that he was ready to become personally involved.

We need to see the problems as something that affects our whole family and find a peaceful solution. We have to collaborate and help each other. “He said we have to come to an agreement on important topics like aviation and immigration. ”

He talked while meeting the UAE ambassador, Salem Saeed Al-Shamsi, at the government building in Abuja, the capital city.

Mr Al-Shamsi said that he had been working on 24 agreements with the Nigerian government. He also mentioned that these agreements were not major problems and they will be resolved because they are like issues within a family.
