BASSETERRE, St. Kitts, CMC – The St. Kitts and Nevis government on Monday announced that the twin-island federation had reached an agreement with Nigeria, allowing its citizens to visit the African country visa-free.
A government statement described the agreement as “a historic milestone in bilateral relations between the two nations”.
It stated that an accord was reached following high-level talks between Prime Minister Dr. Terrance M. Drew and Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, which took place earlier this year in Abuja and during regional meetings with the leaders of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS).
“This is a symbolic and practical step in reconnecting our peoples. St. Kitts and Nevis has long extended visa-free access to Nigerian nationals, and we are heartened that Nigeria has reciprocated in the same spirit of unity and mutual respect,” Prime Minister Drew said.
He said that the agreement reflects the shared vision of both governments to remove barriers and foster closer ties across the Atlantic. And expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for his leadership in advancing this initiative, reaffirming the Federation’s commitment to strengthening Africa–Caribbean relations under its Sustainable Island State Agenda.
The government stated that visa-free access is expected to foster greater collaboration in trade, investment, education, and tourism, thereby further strengthening the historic bond between Africa and the Caribbean.
