Nigeria should end visa barriers for africans — Lumumba

Renowned Kenyan scholar and Pan-Africanist, Prof. PLO Lumumba, has called on the Nigerian government to eliminate visa restrictions for Africans traveling within the continent. Lumumba made this call during the 2026 Delta State Economic and Investment Summit in Asaba, highlighting that such barriers hinder regional integration, trade, and the objectives of the African Continental Free Trade Area.

He urged African nations to rely more on their own investors and compare the continent's situation to Europe, where cross-border movement is easier due to fewer restrictions.
