Visa Clearance Policy Scrapped: NDLEA’s New Approach
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has officially scrapped the controversial visa clearance policy that required married women to present a letter of approval from their husbands before traveling.
This decision came after widespread criticism, with many calling the policy outdated and discriminatory.
The NDLEA explained that the requirement was initially implemented due to specific concerns in certain source countries but acknowledged that it is no longer necessary.
The removal of this requirement is part of a broader review of the agency’s visa clearance procedures, aimed at making the process more inclusive and fair.
