Global Links and Services Ltd (operating as Global Links Travel & Tours), a fully licensed IATA Travel Agency based in Nigeria, says that it’s poised to integrate Namibia into its tours and pilgrimage offerings.

Tony Onwuchekwa, the company’s Group Director of Communications, who disclosed this, and advocates for policy changes to ease intra-African travel.

Onwuchekwa said that the motivation to add Namibia to its travel destinations package was ignited by it’s participation in the just ended Namibia Tourism Board (NTB) and South African Airways (SAA) B2B Stakeholders Meeting in Windhoek.

He emphasised that with over 20 years of experience in crafting seamless travel experiences across Nigeria and beyond, Global Links and Services Ltd is poised to advance intra-Africa tourism, experiential travel, and investment opportunities in Namibia, aligning with its mission to transform travel dreams into reality through expertly curated itineraries, flights, tours, hotels, transfers, study abroad services, and faith-based pilgrimages.

According to him, the company has gained firsthand insights to develop authentic, budget-friendly packages that highlight Namibia’s cultural heritage, wildlife, and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibitions) potential.

“Global Links is committed to bridging Africa’s tourism gaps through strategic collaborations and immersive experiences,” said Tony Onwuchekwa.

“This event aligns perfectly with our vision of linking clients to the world’s wonders, and going forward, we’ll leverage our expertise in promoting African destinations to position Namibia as a must-visit hub for bleisure and adventure travellers,” he said.

The Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, announced that the United States Coast Guard (USCG) has removed the Condition of Entry (CoE) imposed on Nigerian vessels from docking at its ports.

The CoE was first imposed in June 2014. Under the restriction, any vessel that had docked at designated Nigerian ports within its previous five port calls was required to meet additional security and documentation requirements before entering US waters.

The removal means those extra requirements no longer apply.Four USCG assessments between 2024 and 2026

He pointed to the country’s compliance with the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code as central to the case presented to US authorities.

The USCG carried out four separate assessments of Nigeria’s ports and maritime security framework between March 2024 and April 2026.

The inspections took place in March 2024, April 2024, March 2025 and April 2026. The government said each review recorded measurable progress.

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Prof. Taiwo Oyedele, has said federal allocations alone cannot guarantee prosperity for states, urging them to develop sustainable sources of revenue and drive economic growth.

The Minister gave the advice during the 2026 National Council on Finance and Economic Development (NACOFED) conference in Owerri, Imo State, yesterday.

Oyedele emphasised the need for states to look beyond federal allocations and develop their productive capacities to achieve sustainable economic development.

He called for stronger fiscal federalism, improved revenue generation and economic diversification to strengthen Nigeria’s resilience to economic shocks.

“Nigeria must move from an allocation dependent economy to one driven by production, investment and job creation,” he stated.

According to him, recent economic reforms , including the removal of fuel subsidy and the unification of the foreign exchange market, have increased tremendously the revenue available for distribution through the federation account.

He said monthly federation account allocation, which was between N300 billion and N600 billion before 2023, is now above N2 trillion.
