NDLEA jettisons controversial visa clearance policy requiring married women to present letter of approval from their husbands to travel
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) said it has jettisoned a controversial visa clearance policy which requires married women to present a letter of approval from their husbands to travel.
The controversial requirement had sparked widespread criticisms on social media with many people describing it as outdated, discriminatory and government sponsored misogyny.
The spokesperson for the agency, Femi Babafemi, in a notice on Thursday, October 10, 2024, stated that the provision had been removed as part of an ongoing review of the entire procedure.
