Nigeria Issues 58,000 Visas To Foreign Investors At Lagos Airport by dipoolowoo: 12:21pm On Dec 06, 2019 |
By Dipo Olowookere Comptroller of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) in charge of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Mr Abdullahi Usman, has disclosed that not less than 58,000 visas have been issued to foreigners at the airport located in the Ikeja area of Lagos State. Mr Usman, in a chat with newsmen at the airport, stated that most of the visas were issued to foreigners coming into the country to invest in the economy, thereby creating jobs for citizens. According to him, these visas were given to these foreigners on arrival into Nigeria through the MMIA from January 2019 to Thursday, December 5, 2019. The comptroller noted that the visa-on-arrival procedure was targeted at investors coming into the country, which is Africa’s largest economy, to do business as part of the Ease of Doing Business policy of the federal government. “We have upgraded our visa on arrival from email-based to web-based to improve our services. Applicants can now log into the website and fill in their details and also get their approvals directly from there instead of using a third party which was what we were doing before because they have to send a representative here to process it. “So, the increase in the issuance is to ease procedure and encourage more investors to come into the country to invest,” the immigration officer told journalists when he received officials of Access Bank at the airport. He further said the airport was now operating better than in the past, stating that the new Migration Information and Data Analysis System (MIDAS) has been installed at the airport. According to him, this equipment has enabled immigration and border officials to process travellers more rapidly and professionally and as well make their border-crossing experience safer and more humane. Mr Usman said this led to officials of the agency to stop about 150 Nigerians from travelling out of the country in the last four months in the fight against human trafficking. https://businesspost.ng/economy/nigeria-issues-58000-visas-to-foreign-investors-at-lagos-airport/

@Topic, Good one from the Immigration service. This is the CHANGE we want in our country. The comptroller said that no fewer than 58, 000 visas were issued from January to Dec. 5 on arrival to foreigners who arrived through the MMIA in Lagos.It is good reading that investors are coming back into our country to invest after they all left for neighbouring countries during the years of looting. As we have always believed, Slow and steady our darling nation will work again. We are in good hands. God bless Nigeria. We love her. We believe in her. 6 Likes 6 Shares |

As a nation we've failed for 59 years to unite and build a greater nation, divided we're all naive to a greater future together, but truth be told we've failed as a unit, nation, state and an entity in Nigeria. Protest against all corrupt leaders is all we need but who wan start am?. it begins with you and me someday we'll all understand that we failed our future by being hate filled in building our nation Nigeria. 7 Likes |

Bomboclaat! I hope BLLB Nigerians in diaspora will not be part of the beneficiaries of this package cos I don't trust Nigerians. They might package documents that will purport them as Potential Investors but right inside them, they want to come and hustle ni...in all fairness to us, we don't need such Immigrants for now. 6 Likes 1 Share
