For married women applying for visas, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has implemented a contentious requirement.

The organization states that before a woman is allowed to travel, her spouse must provide a letter of approval.

This provision is a part of the revised NDLEA visa rules, which have generated debates concerning personal autonomy and gender equality.

What People in Nigeria Are Saying
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency's (NDLEA) demand that married women submit a letter of consent from their husbands in order to apply for a visa has already sparked a significant internet discussion about women's fundamental human rights.

Nigerians have responded to this contentious rule in a variety of ways on social media, according to Nairametrics, indicating that there is general anxiety. Proponents of such rules contend that they guarantee family consent, while critics contend that they erode women's autonomy and uphold patriarchal standards.
