The Digest:

The U.S. Embassy in Nigeria has reportedly begun a quiet campaign of revoking previously issued visas, leaving Nigerian professionals, entrepreneurs, and families stranded in uncertainty. The sudden cancellations, which come without explanation or right of appeal, have led to significant financial losses and ruined travel plans.

Key Points:
  • The U.S. Embassy in Nigeria is allegedly revoking valid visas without explanation.
  • The issue was first reported by former NNPC official Olufemi Soneye.
  • Affected individuals include journalists, heads of government agencies, and frequent travellers.
  • The notices cite vague "new information" as the reason for the cancellations.
  • Many travellers only discovered the cancellation upon arriving at the airport.
  • Neither U.S. nor Nigerian authorities have issued an official statement on the matter.
The lack of official communication from both governments has left affected citizens in limbo, sparking fears of a silent but deliberate tightening of U.S. visa policy against Nigerians. The action has far-reaching implications for business, education, and personal travel. Stranded in Uncertainty.
