IgbereTV reports that the Comptroller General (CGI) of Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Muhammad Babandede, has revealed plans by the Federal Government to introduce a new Visa policy in Nigeria.

Babandede made the announcement at the weekend during the NIS dinner in Abuja. He said:

“The e-visa policy will encourage investors to Nigeria thereby generating Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) for Nigeria and making Nigeria a most preferred destination through transparency in administration and facilitation of facilities by service.

“I assure you that it will be transparent and we will remove cash payment and ensure no security is compromised. It is a balance between facilitation, transparency and protection of national security”.

The C-G commended the team who developed the software for officers to take e- examinations.

“As you are aware, we are a regimented institution. We have done all we can in 2019 by dismissing officers for corruption, absenteeism, reduction of ranks of officers and investigating those who took money from applicants or ordinary Nigerians illegally.

“So having worked tirelessly, we should dedicate a day to commend those who have served well and this would also serve as an example to others so they can follow the part.

“Governance is not about punishing people every day. It is also about rewarding and bridging gaps between officers and men by coming together dining, dancing and rejoicing,” he said.

Hi Nigerians, have we all forgotten Amaechi's speech which was exposed?

Nigeria is going nowhere!

unnecessary project

Good decision. Both MITI and MoF should follow suit and do the needful also -.both of them hold key to success or failure of FDI pursuit.

good one

The e-visa policy will encourage investors to Nigeria thereby generating Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) for Nigeria and making Nigeria a most preferred destination through transparency in administration and facilitation of facilities by service.

Anything to move our nation forward is what we are after.

God bless Nigeria.

Are people still getting visas to enter Nigeria? It's funny

Who still visits the Buhari-infested Nigeria?

Thank God it's for those coming in not the majority seeking to go out...


What a relief

Audio visa

That's a good one. The federal government have been on a look out on how to finance this their over bloated 2020 National Budget. Every department, sector, ministry, agency and parastatal must be taxed and explored to maximize its optimal revenue generation.


I won't be surprised if the FG wake up tomorrow to say they want to tax platforms like NL and Linda Ikeji blog them.

This country is warped. I hope a mesaiah comes to our rescue soon

They are more particular about the money they will generate from issuing visa than the investment environment in the country.

So that they will now announce billions as revenue from visa fees.

Then the billions will turn AUDIO

Let's Win very Big

Till I go for it then I will know
