The Comptroller General, Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Muhammed Babandede, on Friday said the visa on arrival for holders of passports of African countries from January 2020 was to accelerate African Integration.

Babandede, who disclosed this in a statement by Mr Sunday James, the service Public Relations Officer, in Abuja said the decision would remove barriers hindering free movement of people within the continent.

“Nigeria’s strategic decision is taken to bring down barriers that have hindered free movement of our people within the continent by introducing the visa at the point of entry into Nigeria with effect from January 2020,” he said.

Babandede assured Nigerians of the service’s commitment to high professionalism in delivering its services without compromising National Security.

Babandede had on December 11 announced the Federal Government decision to allow Africans into Nigeria without Visa from January 2020.

Hmmm...

Welcome to the headquarters of the Fulani nation worldwide. They've got to congregate under one umbrella and make the numbers.

It's good. It's a nice step. At least we've shouting Afican unity all these while, one step at a time. I only pray other Africa countries doesn't reciprocate cuz i trust my brothers from the ...... They will flow to that country en masse and scatter their.

And to those of you that have bn shouting Fulani agenda bla bla bla, fula people are pre dominant in West Africa and since we are all ECOWAS member, it means they've been coming to Nigeria anyhow they like, no be this new policy go just bring them. So make una rest una mind.
