In a statement signed by Gabriel Odu, for the Media, Public Relations and Protocols Unit, NIDCOM, Abuja, Dabiri-Erewa added that The Nigerian mission in Egypt has been working tirelessly on this as the Egyptian authorities are insisting on visas by fellow Africans to transit back to their countries.
She appealed to the Egyptian authorities to kindly allow the already traumatized travelers to transit to their final destinations in various countries in Africa.
