The Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Mrs Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, who made this known in a statement following the visit of Amb. Salem Alshamsi, the UAE Ambassador to Nigeria, acknowledged that Nigerians had faced difficulties in obtaining UAE visas, especially tourism visas, despite the warm diplomatic relations and strategic partnerships between the two countries.
