The Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) has clarified issues concerning Minister of Interior’s Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo decision over Visa on Arrival (VOAs) concerns in Nigeria.
The council complained about the anxiety it has caused amongst the foreign community and assured all stakeholders that PEBEC is actively engaging with the Minister of Interior to find a solution.
This was made known in a statement by Director General of PEBEC, Princess Zahrah Mustapha Audu.
The PEBEC noted that its primary objective is to strengthen security around the Visa on Arrival process while maintaining the policy, which has been instrumental in promoting tourism, trade, and investment in Nigeria.
“We believe that with collaboration and dialogue, we can address the security issues identified and achieve a secure and efficient VOA process that benefits all parties involved.
“PEBEC has a proven track record of driving reforms to improve the ease of doing business in Nigeria. We have implemented various initiatives to simplify procedures, reduce bottlenecks, and create a more conducive atmosphere for businesses to thrive.
They urged the foreign community to remain calm and confident in their resolution to the matter, as they will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that Nigeria remains an attractive destination for investors, tourists, and businesses alike.
End.
