I’ve been looking at visiting Africa for some time. I couldn’t figure out Nigeria’s visa application process and feels daunting to visit as a woman without knowing anyone on the ground. Luckily, Itana helped me with a visa-on-arrival application, and had helped with arranging airport pickup and access to a bank card.
