Ecuador’s Ambassador to Nigeria, Amb. Deopoldo Rovayo, has said his country and the west African nation have agreed to sign a visa-free agreement.
Rovavo made the announcement in Abuja when he paid a courtesy visit to the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Amb. Olukunle Bamgbose.
He said the purpose of his visit was to strengthen bilateral ties between his country and Nigeria, especially in the communication sector.

The envoy also said the pact was to initiate an agreement between the two nations to enable their nationals visit each other’s country without having to apply for visa.

He said this was necessary because the number of Nigerians in Ecuador were now increasing more than before.
