New UAE visa procedure excites Nigerian travellers
Nigerians planning to travel to Dubai can heave a sigh of relief following the resumption of flights to the Middle East country.
It may be recalled that on Independence Day, October 1, 2024, Nigerians witnessed the return of seamless travel between Lagos and Dubai as Emirates Airline resumed its daily flights, marking a new chapter in Nigeria-UAE relations and opening fresh opportunities for Nigerians eager to travel and do business in Dubai.
The Chief Commercial Officer of Emirates, Adnan Kazim, who couldn’t hide his excitement, expressed satisfaction over the development. “We are thrilled to reconnect Nigeria to Dubai and our global network. This route has always been popular, and we’re eager to welcome Nigerians back on board.”
Speaking further he expressed optimism that the resumption of Emirates flights is more than just restored travel, stressing that it’s a symbol of the growing partnership between Nigeria and the UAE. This strengthened connection will unlock new markets, boost tourism, and create jobs, driving mutual prosperity in both countries.
“It’s not just Emirates offering direct flights—Egypt Air and Ethiopian Airlines are also providing convenient options with easy transits through Cairo and Addis Ababa. There’s even talk of Nigeria’s very own Air Peace exploring routes to Dubai soon, offering even more ways to jet off in style.”
