President Bola Tinubu has proposed visa waivers for holders of diplomatic and official passports from the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), following the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between Nigeria and Saint Lucia.
He announced on Monday while addressing a special joint sitting of the Senate and House of Assembly of Saint Lucia at the William Jefferson Clinton Ballroom, Sandals Grande, Gros Islet.
The president emphasized the importance of people-to-people engagements and called on Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States nations to reciprocate Nigeria’s visa waiver proposal.
He described the establishment of diplomatic relations as a “symbolic bridge that will provide a gateway in fostering closer ties between both countries”.
The address marked a significant moment in President Tinubu’s ongoing two-nation tour of the Caribbean and South America, which began with his arrival in Vieux Fort, Saint Lucia, on Saturday.
During his speech, President Tinubu also proposed the creation of a joint commission or political consultation agreement to enable structured cooperation between Nigeria and the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States
