A new report has ranked Nigeria 90th on the list of countries with the most visa-free access to other nations.

The report released by Henley and Partners on Tuesday was based on exclusive and official data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA).

According to the report, Nigeria ranked 90th alongside South Sudan with visa-free access to only 46 platforms.

Nigeria also ranked fifth lowest on the list of African countries with visa-free travel access, only above the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Eritrea, Sudan, and Libya — all countries experiencing extreme violence.

Seychelles is in the 24th position with access to 155 countries and was the highest-ranked African country.

Mauritius ranked 29th with access to 148 countries while South African nationals can visit 106 countries without a prior visa, holding down the 51st spot. Both countries were ranked second and third, respectively in the African continent.
