Nigeria grants visa-free entry to Rwandan citizens for 30 days

Nigeria has begun implementing a 30-day visa-free entry policy for citizens of Rwanda, in a move aimed at strengthening diplomatic ties and easing travel between both African nations.   According to Channels Television, the policy took effect following an announcement by Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the Africa CEO Forum in Kigali. The visa exemption grants Rwandan nationals access to Nigeria for up to 30 days for lawful activities including tourism, business and official engagements.   The Nigeria Immigration Service confirmed the new arrangement in a statement issued on Friday by its spokesperson, Akinlabi Akinsola. The agency described the measure as a landmark step in deepening bilateral relations and promoting intra-African mobility.   Immigration authorities said the visa waiver mirrors an earlier concession by Rwanda to Nigerian travellers, making the arrangement reciprocal between both countries.   Officials stressed that any Rwandan visitor seeking to remain in Nigeria beyond the 30-day period must obtain the appropriate visa through Nigerian diplomatic missions or the country’s e-visa platform.   The immigration service added that all international entry points, including airports, seaports and land borders, have been directed to enforce the policy immediately in line with the presidential directive.   The agency said the decision supports broader continental integration goals and is expected to encourage tourism, trade and stronger economic cooperation between the two countries.
