UAE Visa Ban: They’re Faking It Until They Make It – Aisha Yesufu Knocks FG

Aisha Yesufu, a social critic and human rights activist, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu’s administration wants to fake lifting of the visa ban on Nigeria by the United Arab Emirates, UAE, until it achieves it.

The statement comes on the heels of reports indicating that the UAE had lifted the visa ban on Nigerians.

But the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to the President, Bayo Onanuga, who the report was attributed to, has clarified that the ban is yet to be lifted.

However, Yesufu took to her X handle on Wednesday claiming that the administration wanted to fake it.

“Tinubu’s illegitimate government wants to fake it until they make it!,” She wrote.

Recall that the UAE had in October 2022 banned Nigerians and citizens from 19 other African countries from entering its borders.

The country issued a notice to travel agents and trade partners to reject all applications.
