Therefore, this group called TIB(Take It Back) movement but on Facebook as(Nigerians In UAE) with its leaders has matched to their consolute today 10th January 2022 in respect to this ban on Nigerian work permits and Visas.
The group is calling on all the major Nigerian Authorities and Governments bodies incharge to assist them to resolve this issue.
To do so, they have put on paper their desire and plea for the Government of UAE to lift the Ban through their Nigerian consolute.
Below is what was written on their Facebook page...
Update On The TIB's Campaign For The Renewal And Issuance Of Work Permit For Nigerians Living In The United Arab Emirate.
Recall that the TakeItBack Movement had issued a statement calling on the Nigerian government through its embassy to intervene in the above stated matter which have lingered unattended to, denied and completely ignored since June, 2021.
Subsequent to the release of the well publicized statement of the TIB that has attracted the attention of the Nigerian Consulate in the UAE, the leadership of the Take It Back Movement intensified pressure by instructing Barr. Tope Temokun, one of its astute lawyers in the legal department to draft a petition which was submitted today at the Nigerian Embassy in Abu Dhabi.
Copies of the petition were also simultaneously submitted today at the Ministry of Foreign affairs and Chairman of Nigerians in Diaspora commission, both in Abuja.
Meanwhile, upon submitting the petition at the Nigerian Embassy in Abu Dhabi, the Nigerian Ambassador, Mohammed Dansatta Rimi, as well as other cabinet members of the Embassy, met with our comrades in a discussion that lasted for two hours, acknowledged the problem, apologized and promised to do something about it. This was the same embassy that had been denying this ugly incident since June, 2021.
While we will definitely not take their word for it but continue to intensify pressures, we want to seize this moment to reiterate that indeed, when we fight, we may win, but if we don't, we have already lost.
