The Federal Government has said there is no timeframe for resumption of Emirates and Etihad flights that were put on hold amid the diplomatic row between Nigeria and the United Arabs Emirates (UAE).

After a meeting between President Bola Tinubu and his UAE counterpart, Sheik Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, on Monday in Abu Dhabi, Ajuri Ngelale, Presidential Spokesperson, had said the two leaders reached a historic agreement, which resulted in the immediate cessation of the visa ban placed on Nigerian travelers.

He added that Etihad Airlines and Emirates Airlines were to immediately resume flight schedules into and out of Nigeria, “without any further delay”.

But the UAE authorities were silent on the visa ban lift and resumption of flights by its airlines, sparking curiosity among Nigerians.

But speaking during the Aviation Africa Summit in Abuja, Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, said the terms of agreements were being finalized.
