Africa: Rwandan Envoy Canvasses Visa-Free Policy Across Africa

The Rwanda n Ambassador to Nigeria, Christophe Bazivamo, has called on Africa n leaders to unanimously create a visa-free policy to guarantee seamless travel and boost tourism within the region.

"Africa is full of breathtaking natural tourism sites but in spite of such vast assets, the economy is not as vibrant as it should be."In Rwanda, our visa-free tourism policy has boosted our economy. As Africans, we should not be bothered about security issues, we have the population and the resources to unlock our economic potential.

According to Mr Uko, trade will be impossible without travel and the major factor in facilitating seamless travel is to have open skies across Africa.
