“We want Nigerian products on South African shelves” South Africa Eases Visa Rules to Boost Trade with Nigeria

In a move aimed at strengthening bilateral ties and enhancing trade, South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa has announced plans to introduce a simplified five-year multiple-entry visa for Nigerian tourists. This new visa policy will eliminate the need for Nigerians to submit their passports, making it easier for them to travel to South Africa.

According to President Ramaphosa, this visa relaxation is part of a broader effort to boost trade between the two nations. “We want Nigerian products on South African shelves,” he emphasized. This move is expected to increase tourism and trade between South Africa and Nigeria, fostering economic growth and cooperation.

The visa relaxation is also in line with the African Union’s goal of promoting free movement of people and goods across the continent. With this new policy, South Africa is taking a significant step towards achieving this goal and strengthening its economic ties with Nigeria.
