US Hits Nigeria with Visa Restrictions, Cites Reciprocity

In a significant development, the United States Government has announced a reduction in the validity period of visas for Nigerian citizens, effective immediately. The decision is reportedly in line with the principle of reciprocity, mirroring the visa restrictions imposed by Nigeria on US citizens.

According to sources, the move is expected to impact thousands of Nigerians who hold US visas, including students, business travelers, and tourists. The reduced visa validity period will require Nigerians to apply for new visas more frequently, potentially causing inconvenience and disrupting travel plans.

The US government’s decision highlights the ongoing efforts to ensure mutual treatment of citizens between the two countries. As the situation continues to unfold, Nigerian citizens are advised to check the US embassy or consulate website for the latest information on visa requirements and validity periods.

This development may have far-reaching implications for travel and diplomatic relations between Nigeria and the US, and further updates are expected in the coming days.
