He explained that under the bilateral arrangement, Rwandan nationals may enter Nigeria without a visa for a period not exceeding thirty (30) days for lawful purposes, including tourism, business, and official engagements.

He however, stated that individuals seeking to remain in Nigeria beyond the approved 30-day period will be required to obtain the appropriate visa through the Nigerian Embassy or High Commission abroad, or the Nigeria e-Visa channel.
