THE Federal Government on Tuesday insisted on retaliatory action against
British citizens if their government went ahead with its plan to impose a £3,
000 visa bond on visitors from Nigeria and five other Commonwealth countries.
It expressed displeasure that Downing Street, which had already set November
as the discriminatory policy’s commencement time, had not deemed it necessary
to formally communicate to it on the next step of action.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Olugbenga Ashiru, had at a
meeting with the British High Commissioner, Andrew Pocock, communicated the
desire of Nigeria to retaliate the policy.
I believe it is a totally ridiculous policy and the Federal Government
should kick against it with all its might, if not, it might shatter our foreign
policy and encourage other countries to disrespect our nationality in a similar
manner. Please share your thoughts.
