The officials of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are in Nigeria to resolve the controversy over the issues of visa bans and suspension of flight operations between the two countries, Tribune Online gathered.
The UAE officials who arrived in the country since Sunday have been meeting with the Nigerian officials on how to conclude on the issues.
According to sources, the meeting between officials of the two countries will continue tomorrow.
The Nigerian government is however not in a hurry to make the discussions public in other to avoid a repeat of the experience that took place during the visit of President Bola Tinubu to the UAE where the news about the two countries agreements to lift the visa bans and restore flight operations was debunked by the UAE officials.
The denial by the UAE officials which became embarrassing to the government attracted angry reactions amongst Nigerians.
To avoid a similar scenario, the Nigerian government is said not to be in a hurry this time to make any pronouncement on the meeting until there is proper documentation from both sides.
The five-member UAE team is made up of Almannaei Khalid, Janahi Asma, Alshehhu Rasheed, Teo Teck San, and Alhosani Talal.
The issues at stake include: the visa ban, suspension of flights between the two countries and the trapped funds of the two UAE airlines; Emirates and Qatar in Nigeria.
If the officials are able to reach a compromise at the end of the meeting on Thursday, the over one year suspension of flights between Nigeria and the UAE and other lingering issues may finally restore activities between the two countries.
