The Senate on Tuesday summoned the Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbosola, to appear before it with the Comptroller General of the Nigerian Immigration Service, Muhammed Babandede.

Thelagostimes gathered that the duo are expected to brief the Senate on the latest visa on arrival policy of the Federal Government.

The invitation of the Minister followed a point of order raised by the Senator representing Ekiti North Senatorial District, Olubunmi Adetunmbi.

Adetunmbi had drawn the attention of the Senate to the fact that the executive did not seek necessary amendments to extant laws by the National Assembly before the policy became operational.

Thelagostimes recalls that Buhari had, in his speech during the Aswan Forum on peace and sustainable development in Egypt last week, said that African passport holders can apply for a visa upon arrival in the country, in a move aimed at encouraging free circulation of people on the continent.
