I hereby propose that the federal government should introduce a foreign policy that grants nationals/international passport holders of the G7 countries a free 30-day entry visa into Nigeria.

The Group of 7 (G7) is a group consisting of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The European Union is also represented within the G7. These countries are the seven major advanced economies as reported by the International Monetary Fund: The G7 countries represent more than 64% of the net global wealth ($263 trillion).[1] A net national wealth and a very high Human Development Index are the main requirements to be a member of this group. The G7 countries also represent 46% of the global GDP evaluated at market exchange rates and 32% of the global purchasing power parity GDP.[2] source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_of_Seven_(G7)

Some of the potential benefits of this policy includes, but not limited to the following:
1. Effective method of rapidly boosting our tourism industry.
2. Foreign currency receipts especially with the current scarcity of fx.
3. Potential Foreign Investments.
4. Employment creation.
5. Boosting our foreign relations with the G7.
6. Others (include yours).

The policy may be opposed for whatever reason. However with a robust policy debate, I believe the advantages of this policy will outweigh any disadvantage.

The Foreign Affairs Ministry should take note of the overriding benefits Nigeria would derive from this policy if adopted and implemented.

Kindly state your opinion. Perhaps an opinion poll may be required.

With this policy, we can really boost our tourism potential and stop paying lip service.

The policy can also be extended to other wealthy nations such as South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, etc.
