He clarified that the deal was the immediate lifting of the visa ban on Nigerians going to UAE.
Ngelale said:
"Every agreement comes with mutual responsibility, there's no free lunch. And what I mean by that is the notion that “flood gates open up and that we will go back to business as usual". That is not what Nigerians should expect. I want to be very clear about this so that everybody understands.
He added:
"What we've done is part of the process is put in place new measures that will ensure that there's effective diligence done on the part of both sides, that's the UAE authorities and the Nigerian authorities in making sure that any Nigerian citizen seeking to travel to the UAE for example is being thoroughly scrutinized not in a way that is prejudicial, not in a way that is presumptuous or negative but in a way that ensures that well-meaning citizens, people that want to go and do business or people who want to get education or people who want to participate as active in productive or active citizens in those domains are those people.
