Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, the interior minister, claimed last Detty December made it clear that more tourists wanted to visit Nigeria.
The end-of-year holiday season is typically from mid-December through the New Year in Nigeria, or Detty December.
The country’s economy was boosted by the arrival of tourists in December last year.

Tunji-Ojo, who was a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, claimed that the Federal Government now has a duty to facilitate entry into the nation to draw in more foreign direct investment.
We must facilitate entry for honest citizens who want to explore our nation’s beauty. Mr. President is working so hard every day to increase foreign direct investment, ensure that people visit Nigeria, and we are seeing the results.
The most people who came into Nigeria for the New Year’s Eve were last December, we called it Detty December. It was fantastic. That alone demonstrates to us that we must make room for ourselves, Tunji-Ojo said.
improved visa-on-arrival
The introduction of the e-visa is one of the steps taken in this direction, according to the minister. He claimed that the e-visa is more useful than its replacement because it improves visa-on-arrival.
The minister claimed that the visa-on-arrival process had been hampered by several bottlenecks since the introduction of the e-visa.
Today’s “visa-on-arrival” is a form of electronic travel. The only difference is that when you apply online, the CG’s office approves visa-on-arrival, he said.
When you arrive in Nigeria, you must go to the “visa-on-arrival counter,” where they will take a vignette and attach it to your passport, and they send you a notice that it is approved. You take that notice.
We assert that that is not necessary. Therefore, the visa-on-arrival application process was only made to allow online applicants to apply. You can apply online with a decision that will come after you have chosen not to use a vignette or scan the QR code.
