Nigeria will henceforth adopt the principle of reciprocity in issuing visas to foreigners seeking to enter the country, according to Minister of Interior Olabunmi Tunji-Ojo. The minister said that if a Nigerian is charged $100 for a visa, the country will also charge foreigners $100 for a Nigerian visa.
Olabunmi Tunji-Ojo, who announced this on Thursday at the Business Day Conference titled “Nigeria Forward: Catalysing Funding for High Impact Social Projects,' said the policy involves treating foreigners like their respective countries treat Nigerians.
The minister, who delivered a keynote address titled “Ministry of Interior Potential High Impact Social Projects,” expatiated on what he meant by his principle of reciprocity, saying: “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.
