The Canadian government has denied visa applications to Nigeria's Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, and other top military officials. Musa revealed this during a lecture in Abuja, expressing disappointment and embarrassment. He stated that only half of the Nigerian delegation's visa applications were approved, while the other half, including his own, were denied.
Musa views this denial as a blessing in disguise, emphasizing the need for Nigeria to strengthen its self-reliance and not be taken for granted. The Canadian government hasn't provided an official reason for the visa denial. This incident highlights the complexities of international relations and the importance of national sovereignty.
