Links between the United Arab Emirates and Nigeria have reached an important milestone with the resumption of daily Emirates Airlines flights between Lagos and Dubai.
The development coincided with the recent 64th anniversary of Nigeria’s independence day. It will facilitate travel and business opportunities between the two nations.
The announcement by Emirates Airlines also hinted at new transit opportunities via Cairo and Addis Ababa for Egypt Air and Ethiopian Airlines, as well as a tie-up with local carrier Air Peace to explore routes to Dubai.
The Commercial Director of Emirates, Adnan Kazim, assured that this new development would strengthen key sectors of the Nigerian economy, in particular agriculture.
‘With Emirates SkyCargo offering a weekly capacity of over 300 tonnes of cargo, Nigerian companies can easily export goods to Dubai and beyond, strengthening trade links between the two nations. This boost is all the more important as Nigeria continues to diversify its economy from oil into sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing and technology,’ he commented.
‘This will unlock new markets, boost tourism and create jobs, while promoting the mutual prosperity of both countries,’ he said.
Mr. Goulet also urged Nigerian travellers to prepare well for their trip by obtaining a visa, which comes in three categories, and checking their documents to make sure they are up to date.
