President Bola Tinubu left New Delhi, India early Sunday morning for Abu Dhabi to meet with the President of United Arab Emirates and other senior government officials to resolve the lingering diplomatic row between Nigeria and that country over visa ban.
UAE authorities banned Nigerians from visiting their country last year October following many reported cases of violent crimes said to involve Nigerians.
The visa restriction is also not unconnected with trapped cash of Emirates Airline which is put at over $300million according to aviation industry sources.
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has not been able to meet the demands of many foreign Airlines to repatriate funds due to foreign exchange crisis Nigeria has been facing in the last couple of years.
