Dubai, the country’s commercial city, is one of the favourite destinations of Nigerian travellers.
Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, vice-president and prime minister of the UAE and ruler of Dubai, announced the development on Monday after his first cabinet meeting for the new year.
Maktoum said the move is part of plans to turn the Gulf state into a tourism hub and to establish the country as a major global tourist destination.
Prior to the extension, tourists could only get a 30-day or 90-day visa duration, depending on the country.
