FG Begins Discussions With Ethiopia Over Visa Ban

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has announced that it has started engagements with the Ethiopian Government as a result of the controversial subject of a recent visa ban on Nigeria, in order to seek a reversal of the new policy.

The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika who made this known during the weekly briefing of the FEC, however, added that the ban does not in anyway affect the agreement by the two nations on Nigeria Air.
