In a statement issued by Femi Babafemi Director, Media and Advocacy, NDLEA, clarify that the process for obtaining visa clearance from the NDLEA, which is a requirement for certain countries, is currently under review. Notably, the previous requirement for married women to provide a letter of approval from their husbands for travel has been removed by the Agency, as it is no longer considered mandatory.
The statement reads: “The entire procedure for visa clearance issued by the NDLEA as required by some countries is currently undergoing review and the requirement for a married woman to present a letter of approval from her husband to travel is one of the items that the Agency has since jettisoned as a non-mandatory item on the list. The inclusion of that item abinitio arose following some ugly developments in some source countries.
“Members of the public are assured that the item has been deleted from the list of requirements in the ongoing review exercise, which will be made public in the coming days. Full Details”
