All conference participants traveling from outside Nigeria are advised to check if they require a visa and how to obtain one from the Nigerian embassy in their home country. The Local Organizing Committee (LOC) encourages participants to apply for visas through Nigerian embassies in the countries where they reside. If no Nigerian embassy exists in your country, consider applying for an e-visa and/or reach out to the LOC for assistance with any visa-related queries. Paper participants have been informed via email about the appropriate contacts for visa support. For further details on visa requirements for Nigeria, please visit: https://immigration.gov.ng/
