Personal Assistant to the president on New Media, Bashir Ahmad disclosed this on his verified Twitter handle.

Ahmed quoted his principal as saying: “The Nigeria’s Visa Policy (NVP 2020) provides an avenue to achieve African integration by the introduction of visas on arrival for short visits to Nigeria for holders of passports of African Union countries.”

The policy expected to “boost economic activities in the areas of tourism, aviation, entertainment, commerce and other areas where Nigeria has a comparative advantage over other African countries.”

A key provision of the policy is the opportunity it gives to Africans visiting Nigeria to obtain their visas on arrival at the country’s four international airports in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Kano.
