October 10, (THEWILL) – The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), on Thursday, said that it has deleted from its list of requirements for Visa clearance, the inclusion of an approval letter of husband for a married woman to travel.
The spokesperson of the Agency, Femi Babafemi, who disclosed this in a statement, said the process for obtaining visa clearance from the NDLEA, which is a requirement for certain countries, is currently under review.
The statement reads: “The entire procedure for visa clearance issued by the NDLEA as required by some countries is currently undergoing review and the requirement for a married woman to present a letter of approval from her husband to travel is one of the items that the Agency has since jettisoned as a non-mandatory item on the list.
“The inclusion of that item abinitio arose following some ugly developments in some source countries.
“Members of the public are assured that the item has been deleted from the list of requirements in the ongoing review exercise, which will be made public in the coming days.”
