The Enugu State Government in a statement through the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Chidiebere Onyia, on Monday, in Enugu, said the establishment of the visa centre was part of Governor Peter Mbah’s requests during the visit to the Government House, Enugu, by the UK High Commissioner to Nigeria, Richard Montgomery, in June.
According to the statement, the government received the news of the visa centre with delight and satisfaction, noting that it would further enhance economic partnership and cultural exchanges between Enugu State and the UK.
“The Enugu State Government looks forward to a strong, mutually beneficial relationship with the UK, as the visa centre would help cement the relationship”, the statement reads.
“The government calls on the people, especially those residing in the South-east, to avail themselves of the opportunity provided to file their visa applications in the state,” the statement said.
The statement added that the government would intensify efforts to improve security for both residents and visitors carrying on business in the state.
