Nigerian passport holders can now obtain visas to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) effective on Monday, July 15.

The announcement was made at the Presidential Villa by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, who stated that an agreement has been reached between the governments of Nigeria and the UAE.
