No be small matter, e be like say Nigeria don open beta gist with Turkey! Na Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, our Minister of Interior, wey carry the gist go meet the Turkish Ambassador, His Excellency Mehmet Poroy. Dem meet for Abuja, and na dia Tunji-Ojo show say Nigeria no dey joke with visa wahala again. E talk say dis partnership go make e easy for our people wey wan travel go Turkey for business.
As e be now, dem don upgrade visa process for we Nigerians wey dey plan to hustle for Turkey. Dem don arrange am so that business-minded pipo fit apply for dem visa locally and get answer sharp sharp, like three to four days! If na true, wetin we go dey shout? E be like say we dey see clear road for international business sha!
But wahala dey for Turkish business pipo wey wan come Nigeria. Ambassador Poroy don talk say dem dey see mixed signals about visa for dem side. Sometimes, information dey confuse dem, and na wetin dem dey ask make Nigeria clarify make everybody fit sabi wetin dey happen. Dis na smart move o, because wetin we no fit allow be make business pipo dey waste time for visa wahala.
During di meeting, dem talk about Nigeria’s electronic visa (e-visa) system self. Dem wan make Turkey join, because the ambassador talk say if dem fit enjoy e-visa, e go make life easy for Turkish pipo wey wan come Nigeria. Currently, if dem wan apply, dem go trek go Ankara, and e no dey sweet at all. Tunji-Ojo don promise say dem go work with Turkey to fit show everybody say dem dey serious to improve visa wahala for both sides.
Another thing wey dem bring come be Nigerian marriage certificates matter. Tunji-Ojo clear am say any marriage certificate wey dem give for Nigeria don carry weight, no be small. E no suppose dey need extra verification from foreign missions, as far as e don follow law. Na so e fit be when dem sabi wetin dey happen for Nigeria.
This whole gist dey show say Nigeria don dey ready to solidify wetin we fit call ‘brotherly love’ with Turkey. E go make sense if both sides fit collaborate for business and also promote people-to-people relationship. Na so we fit grow our economy and ensure sey everybody dey catch cruise!
