Kenya Protests Treatment of Citizens Seeking Visas to Nigeria

Kenya has protested the treatment of its citizens seeking visas to Nigeria.

In a post on Tuesday, October 27, Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Korir Sing’Oei noted that Kenyans were facing unnecessary inconvenience when applying for Nigerian visas despite Kenya extending visa-free entry to Nigerian citizens.

PS Sing’Oei said the inconvenience is unwarranted, adding that Kenya is pursuing diplomatic and political channels to resolve the issue.

“The treatment of Kenyans seeking visas to Nigeria is unacceptable. While we extend visa-free entry to Nigerian citizens, this is not reciprocated. The inconvenience suffered by Kenyans is unwarranted.

"We are pursuing the remedying of this situation with vigor at diplomatic and political levels,” said Sing’Oei.

This comes after a section of Kenyans took to social media to complain about difficulties they encountered when applying for Nigerian visas.
