The Federal Executive Council chaired by President Bola Tinubu has approved the establishment of a tripartite committee to streamline visa processes and acquisition for investors interested in investing in Nigeria.
Jerrymusa.com reports that on Tuesday, following the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, announced that the government is streamlining its visa processes. “Our current visa processes have become too cumbersome,” Idris stated.
The Discussion Aims at Boosting Tourism
“Simplifying our visa processes is crucial for promoting ease of doing business. Moving forward, investors and tourists can expect to obtain a visa within 48 hours.”
The FEC meeting, which began on Monday, was adjourned until Tuesday to allow for further deliberation and “far-reaching” decisions, according to the information minister.
