Why this matters

The removal of visa barriers could significantly boost intra-African trade, investment, and tourism, aligning with the African Union's agenda for a more integrated continent. Nigeria, as a major economic power, plays a crucial role in continental integration efforts, and such a policy shift could set a precedent for other African nations.
