The issues between Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates, which have impacted emirate airlines and the granting of visas to Nigeria, have been called for an expedient resolution by President Bola Tinubu on Thursday.
According to Tinubu, African nations have a better chance of overcoming economic and security difficulties if they seek within for solutions and actually follow through on all of their commitments and agreements.

At the State House, President Tinubu received letters of credence from three ambassadors: Mr. Awall Wagris Mohammed, of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia; Mrs. Miriam Morales Palmero, of the Republic of Cuba; and Mr. Salem Saeed Al-Shamsi, of the United Arab Emirates.
In a side meeting with the Ambassador of Ethiopia, the President assured the envoy that Nigeria will continue to strengthen its ties with African countries in the areas of trade, security, and economic growth.
“Africans need to work for the progress of Africa. We should be able to resolve our internal problems, collectively. It requires a great commitment, but we must do that. No one can understand our people better than we do. Home-grown solutions are better for all of us, and the remedies will last longer,” he implored.
Mohammed congratulated the President for the historic decisions he has taken in the country, and the impact of the policies on the continent, assuring of his dedication to improve relations between Nigeria and Ethiopia.
