He said the policy involves treating foreigners like their respective countries treat Nigerians. He emphasised that the era that witnessed the subjection of Nigerians to discrimination by other countries in terms of visa issuance was over, as the present administration will adopt the principle of give and take as a more efficient approach.
“Any country that does not give me the visa on arrival cannot have a visa on arrival in Nigeria. I’m sorry, but it is the truth. We’re not a dumping ground; if you say you are useful, people will see you as being useful,” he said.
