The Federal Government has repatriated a total of 190 Nigerians from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

According to a statement by the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), signed by its Director General, Director, North Central Zone, Bashir Garga, on Tuesday, the returnees were received at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja at 5:57 am, by a combined team of government officials led by NEMA.

NEMA said the returnees have been profiled and documented by the relevant agencies, and sensitized to “behave with decorum and responsibility” on their return to Nigeria.

“The federal government urges all Nigerians, wherever they may be, to act as exemplary ambassadors of their country, upholding the fundamental values of patriotism, rule of law, decency and integrity.”

It would be recalled that in October 2022, FG repatriated a total of 542 from UAE.

Nigerians Can Obtain UAE Visas
Meanwhile, the Federal Government said it has reached an agreement with the UAE to allow Nigerian port holders to obtain visas for travel to that Arab nation starting July 15, 2024.

The Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris, disclosed this on Monday when he briefed State House correspondents following the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting.

“Following successful talks and extensive, mutually beneficial negotiations between the Government of the United Arab Emirates and the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, an agreement was reached allowing for the resumption of travel to the UAE for Nigerian port holders,” he said.

“This agreement includes updated controls and conditions to facilitate obtaining a UAE visa.

“The resumption of visas will be effective from July 15, 2024.”

The minister added that Nigerians wishing to learn more about the updated visa conditions from the UAE can visit the country’s website.

The announcement comes more than two years after the UAE suspended visa issuance to Nigerians following a period of protracted diplomatic row with Africa’s most populous nation.

It also comes about two months after UAE national carrier Emirates Airlines announced the resumption of flights to Nigeria. The airline said in May that its daily Lagos-Dubai flights would resume from October 1, 2024.

we caused the maltreatment. If we behave properly in another man's country, no one will maltreat us. The question you should ask is why are we always singled out for crimes committed abroad?
I hope the lift in the visa ban will make us change for the better

Kudos to FG for bringing our people home safely! Keeping Nigeria first.

The least money u can get there for sweeping is 1k aed that is 420k naira according to current exchange rate ... Even without papers u will get something to keep Ur hand busy . Who pays you 420k for few hours job in Nigeria... Lol those one's don scam unah . Free tickets, food and small money unah go dash them untop. Check their various s, they are more richer than average Nigeria youths living in Nigeria.. stop wasting money on ppl abroad take care of youths in Nigeria and solve their needs by providing jobs and opportunities so they will not see the need to leave the country at the first place

They're welcome to Emilokan regime

Why should we pay 640k for non refundable document verification fee just to go Dubai , yet I see some ronu here rejoicing that the ban have been lifted .
