The Enugu State administration applauded the UK government for establishing a visa centre there to simplify visa applications for citizens of the state, the South-East region, and the entire nation.
The UK High Commissioner to Nigeria, Dr. Richard Montgomery, visited the Government House in Enugu in June of this year, and Governor Peter Mbah had earlier requested the establishment of a visa centre, according to a statement from the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Prof. Chidiebere Onyia.
The administration, according to the statement, welcomed the announcement of the visa centre with joy and satisfaction, highlighting how it would strengthen the economic ties and cross-cultural interactions between Enugu State and the UK.
Consequently, “The Enugu State Government looks forward to a strong, mutually beneficial relationship with the UK, as the visa centre would help cement the relationship,” the statement continued.
The administration urged individuals to take advantage of the chance to apply for visas in the State, especially those living in the South-East, and promised to increase security for both locals and foreigners conducting business there.
It reaffirmed that the State was more welcoming to business and investment than ever.
