A source confided in our correspondent on Tuesday that the US Government threatened to stop issuance of entry visas to Nigerians if the policy was not immediately reversed for its citizens.

Barely a month after the Nigerian Government introduced the $110 biometrics and service charge through the Nigeria Immigration Service, the authorities have now exempted the citizens of United States of America from the policy.

The government had in January reintroduced the $90 biometrics charge and $20 service charge for all foreigners travelling into Nigeria.

This was first introduced in 2018 but after much controversies, it was suspended.

A source confided in our correspondent on Tuesday that the US Government threatened to stop issuance of entry visas to Nigerians if the policy was not immediately reversed for its citizens.

At the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, it was observed that citizens of the United States were only issued visas on arrival by officials of immigration, while those with prior visas were allowed into the country by the service.

The same was the case at the Lagos airport where US citizens were given free passage.

The source said, “I can confirm to you that the Nigeria Immigration Service has stopped the collection of biometrics and service charges from citizens of the US.

“As I am talking to you now, US citizens are entering the country without collection of the charges.”

There is however, concerns that while government may have dropped the policy for US citizens, nationals of other countries were still being charged the fee before allowed into Nigeria.

Spineless and lacking in balls.

Asslicking taken to a whole new quotient.

Even Somalia or South Sudan wouldn't debase itself this much.

Sad

bubu was trying to overstep his bounds. Trump cut him straight to size

America oh poor America

So ordinary 110 usd u can not pay 9ja opon all the money wey una dey thief from us through ur thief oil companies

Ironically these are some reasons some people still loved Abacha despite his massive cruel looting.



Sometimes I don't blame them still

Mtcheeww damage control. All the things the useless Government were supposed to have done long before now. Imagine Nigeria charging higher than the US was charging us for Visas and that was the reason US later decided to add 40k reciprocity fee too instead of the normal price they charged is before. Now Naija is suddenly becoming nice to them especially when a Ban has been put on Nigerians for some visa categories. I know the motive behind this gesture is to make US lift the ban...

Nigeria too dey fear fear...


Any small thing they change mind.

Always doing like small pikin looking for tit to such..

And Nigeria is supposed to be the giant of Africa......

Just imagine.
