Akwaaba African Travel Market

The Akwaaba African Travel Market organisers praised the Nigerian government for swiftly addressing visa issues for delegates, ensuring smooth participation.

The Akwaaba African Travel Market organisers commended the Nigerian government for efficiently resolving visa issues for foreign delegates.

Held annually in Lagos, the event caters to businesses, investors, and decision-makers in travel and tourism. Ambassador Ikechi Uko, the lead organiser, initially faced frustrations with the expensive online visa on arrival and delays from Nigerian embassies in East Africa.

His complaints, shared with Minister of Tourism Lola Ade-John, led to a swift resolution involving Ministers of Interior Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo and Tourism, along with the Comptroller General of Immigration, Kemi Nandap.

This resolution not only facilitates the event but also benefits all African visitors to Nigeria. The government is revising visa processes to address these concerns. Akwaaba African Travel Market is set for September 22-24 in Lagos.
