Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has called on the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) to review visa applications submitted by South African artistes, urging authorities to adopt a reciprocal approach.
The senator’s appeal follows allegations that Nigerian singer Ayra Starr was denied entry into South Africa. She argued that Nigeria should respond with similar measures by carefully reviewing visa requests from South African entertainers seeking to enter the country.
Her comments come amid growing public debate over the treatment of Nigerian citizens and artistes in South Africa, as well as renewed calls for reciprocal diplomatic action.
