As part of the activities to celebrate the 4th of April, Day of Peace and National Reconciliation in Angola, a Visa Application Centre will tomorrow April 2, 2024, be inaugurated in Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital, in order to obviate the need to travel to Abuja and Lagos.
A statement released by the Angola Embassy in Nigeria and made available to newsmen in Port Harcourt on Monday, noted that the Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, is expected to be the special guest at the event, while H.E. Ambassador José Bamóquina ZAU will be present to witness the inauguration of a centre for economic, cultural and tourist rapprochement between Angola and Nigeria.
The statement disclosed that the centre, a partnership between the Embassy of Angola in Nigeria and the company Akwa Helmes International Limited – AHIL, has facilities for applying for visas, increasing investment attractiveness, supporting the oil and gas industry, as well as promoting sun-sea and adventure tourism.
According to the statement, “Services of the centre will extend to hotel reservations, ticket sales and air connectivity to destinations operated by Angola’s national airline, TAAG.
“The city of Port Harcourt, in Rivers State (with a population of about 10 million), is located in the heart of the vast Niger Delta, where the main petroleum and petrochemical industries, two large state-owned refineries, two seaports, universities and scientific and technological institutes are located.
“Most of the businessmen and technicians working in Angola’s oil and gas industry come from this region, but the local authorities want to intensify academic cooperation with training institutes and technical internships in the oil and gas industry.”
