Onwuliri said that Vice-President Namadi Sambo would lead a delegation of top ranking Nigerian officials to the biennial meeting of the 53-member union in Colombo during the week.
She cited the report of Ramphal Institute on Movement of Commonwealth Citizens across borders, which captures the growing political will among member countries for a visa-free regime.
“Our interim position is for the introduction of a pilot scheme which will facilitate a visa-free regime with the commonwealth countries for holders of diplomatic and official passports.
“There is no doubt that a visa-free regime will promote trade, tourism and investments while enhancing the value of Commonwealthmembership to citizens,’’ she said.
