The PSC Chairman and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Boss Mustapha, made the call in Abuja.

“For some time now, Nigeria has been discussing with the authorities of the UAE, Emirates on the resumption of flights between the two countries.

”The PSC will urge the United Arab Emirates to remove the country-specific and discriminatory practices against Nigeria.
