Kenya is making a bold move to deepen its connections with Nigeria. The acting Kenyan High Commissioner to Nigeria, Samuel Mogere, recently announced Kenya Airways‘ plans to initiate daily flights to the West African nation. This development reflects a larger goal—the Kenyan government’s determination to unite Africa and create seamless travel for its citizens.
Visa-Free Travel and Convenient e-Visa Options
In a landmark decision last year, Kenya opened its borders with a visa-free entry policy for African travelers. Mr. Mogere emphasized the ease of access this allows Nigerians; combined with a streamlined online e-visa system, travelers now have unprecedented freedom to experience the wonders of Kenya.
Kenya Airways Building Unity: “One Africa, One People”
“The Kenyan Roadmap 2024 is about implementing our agenda – to build one Africa, and one people,” explained Mr. Mogere. This mission reflects a shared focus within Africa as the continent looks to strengthen connections and cooperation among nations.
Nigeria at the Center of Expansion
Alex Tunoi, Marketing Manager for the Kenya Tourism Board, revealed a diversification strategy that places strong emphasis on the African market, with Nigeria leading the pack. “[Nigeria] is important because of its large population and frequent travelers,” remarked Steve Biko, Regional Sales Manager at Sarova Hotels and Resorts, underscoring Kenya’s enthusiasm for Nigerian visitors.
Increased Flight Frequency
Currently, Kenya Airways operates four weekly flights between Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (Nairobi) and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (Abuja). With the expansion to daily service, connections between the two countries will soar to new heights.
