The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has urged the Federal government to stop foreign missions in the country from charging visa and other consular services in foreign currencies.
The EFCC further advised all embassies to align with Nigeria’s regulatory framework by pegging the cost of their services to the local currency exchange rate.
It contends that offering consular services in foreign currencies undermines Nigeria’s monetary policies and its pursuit of sustainable economic development.
The advisory was communicated in a letter addressed to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, with instructions for dissemination to all foreign missions operating in Nigeria.
