Nigeria and a Caribbean country, St Kitts and Nevis have signed a visa-free travel deal, allowing citizens of both nations to travel between the two countries without the need for visas.
It was gathered that the deal was finalized after high-level discussions between Nigerian President Bola Tinubu and St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Terrance Drew.
Pan-Atlantic Kompass also gathered that the visa-free deal between Nigeria and the Caribbean country is set to enhance tourism, business opportunities, and people-to-people connections.
The visa-free travel deal was described by Prime Minister Drew as “a historic milestone in bilateral relations between the two nations.”
Drew said the agreement builds on St. Kitts and Nevis’ long-standing policy of granting visa-free access to Nigerian passport holders.
“This is a symbolic and practical step in reconnecting our peoples. St Kitts and Nevis has long extended visa-free access to Nigerian nationals, and we are heartened that Nigeria has reciprocated in the same spirit of unity and mutual respect,” Drew said.
The prime minister added that the agreement reflects the shared vision of both governments to remove barriers and deepen ties across the Atlantic.
He thanked Tinubu for his leadership in advancing the initiative and reaffirmed his country’s commitment to strengthening Africa–Caribbean relations under its Sustainable Island State Agenda.
