The President of Change Agent Foundation International (CAFI), Hon. Oladipupo Babatunde Okeyomi Carry Go has hailed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for successfully resolving the disagreement between Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates which led to a visa ban on Nigerians and the withdrawal of both Etihad and Emirates Airlines from flying in and out of Nigeria.

The resolution of the dispute was reached following Tinubu’s visit to the President of the United Arab Emirates and the subsequent negotiation which led to the lifting of the visa ban on Nigerians and the announcement of immediate resumption of air flights.

In a statement released by his Personal Media Aide, Lateef Olawale, Carry Go hailed Tinubu for restoring the long standoff in relations between both countries which went sour under the past administration, just as he expressed optimism that Nigeria would regain its place of pride among the comity of nations.

“We must all commend Mr. President for his  diplomatic approach to finally resolve this matter. Only a leader who understands the importance of business would appreciate the enormous opportunities to be derived from restoring business relations between both countries,” Carry Go said.

He also commended the President for his bold economic policies aimed at repositioning the country since he was sworn in a couple of months ago.

“Mr. President bold policies since assuming office, are the hallmark of a true leader who is not afraid or shy to take actions as long as such actions are in the national interest. Without a doubt, the current hardship will ease once these policies begin to bear fruits. I firmly believe the right measures are being taken and we are headed in the right direction,” he added.

“With Asiwaju’s policies, Nigeria will fully recover in a few years. We are witnessing the storm before the calm. Now, the storm is blowing away. I am certain, very soon, we’ll begin to experience the inevitable calm and the progress that will naturally follow in a very short while.

“Nigerians has a lot to benefits from Middle Eastern investors, because the region remain one of the most liquid across the globe.”

In addition, Okeyomi pointed out that ordinary Nigerians who previously wanted to travel to the UAE for business and leisure would benefit from the resolution of the crisis.

Tourists from Nigeria now have wider choices to make, stressing the need to appreciate Tinubu for the quality of leadership and steadfastness he has demonstrated since May 29, 2023.

“Indeed, Asiwaju has demonstrated leadership and the difference in style is like night and day. Tinubu is leading from the front and his economic diplomacy which we pray he sustains, is going to drastically change the image of the country, unlock foreign investments into the country and improve Nigeria’s perception internationally.

“We must all join hands to support this administration and we must all start seeing things beyond our differences. Nigeria badly needs foreign exchange and this move by the President will help improve forex inflows into the country. It is worthy of commendation,” Carry Go added.
