Stranded Nigerian In United Arab Emirates Cries Out For Help As Dubai Emirates Refuses To Renew Visas
A stranded Nigerian citizen wrote from Dubai:
Hello ma’am, Please Nigerians in UAE are currently going through torture at the moment. Not because we have expired visa or have committed a crime but just because we are Nigerians. As at this week, all Nigerians that got employment were denied visa without any explanation…those on tourist visa can’t renew their visa while every other African country can. The UAE govt is not speaking about this openly, they will say there is no visa restriction but why are Nigerians being denied visa? Now ticket to fly back home is over 300k plus (naira) just because our airway in not yet opened. Ma, please help us voice this out so that meaningful Nigerians will help to settle this issue. We don’t want to over stay our visa and incurs their fine. Thank you ma.
Eagles Reporters had to put calls through to United Arab Emirates to actually find out what the problem is. One of the contacts Eagles Reporters spoke with told us that the UAE government is still denying this, saying, it is system issue yet they are already issuing and renewing visas for other nations they earlier banned with Nigeria. He said, it could be because of this Husspuppi guy.
As a matter of urgency, Nigeria Government needs to do something about the plight of Nigerians stranded in United Arab Emirates.
