In a bid to ensure its processes are efficient and aligned with global best practices, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has announced that the requirement for married women to present a letter of approval from their husbands for international travel has been eliminated. This update comes as part of a broader review of visa clearance processes for certain countries.

The agency explained that the initial inclusion of the requirement stemmed from troubling developments in some source countries. However, this stipulation has been dropped as a non-mandatory item in the ongoing review.
