The new Indian High Commissioner to Nigeria, Ghanashyam Rangaiah, yesterday announced a series of new measures that would enable Nigerians obtain Indian visas.
"We have decided that Nigerians wishing to visit India for any purpose should personally visit our website to make their applications."
"We now want such applicants to personally, after applying through our website, come directly to the High Commission, without having to use agents or touts. We no longer want Nigerians to wait for any facilitator or pay heavily to agents before getting visas to India," he said.
He also stated that it would help curb the incessant forgeries by young Nigerians seeking entry into the state for ulterior motives, using college and university admissions as a camouflage.
"Their admission letters have to now come to the High Commission directly from the Indian colleges and universities. That way, we will be able to detect any forged document from anybody seeking visa to India," he added.
