The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has revised its visa clearance process by removing the requirement for married women to provide approval letters from their husbands.
This regulation previously led to widespread criticism, with many condemning it as discriminatory and outdated.
The agency explained that the decision is part of an ongoing overhaul of its visa clearance procedures.
The controversial spousal approval rule, initially included due to specific issues in some source countries, has now been discarded.
NDLEA assured the public that further updates on the revised procedure will be made available soon.
