Japan Denies Plans Of Creating Special Visa Category For Nigerians
Japan has denied reports of creating a special visa category for skilled Nigerians, as previously stated by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The JICA had announced plans to promote exchange between four Japanese cities and four African countries, including Nigeria, through the Africa Hometown programme.
However, the Japanese foreign ministry clarified that there is no such plan for a special visa category for Nigerians. The statement from the ministry emphasized their commitment to ensuring appropriate information is provided on the matter.
This development comes after the JICA's initial announcement caused a stir both locally and internationally. The denial from the Japanese government aims to address any confusion and maintain transparency in their policies.
