US Imposes Travel Ban on Nigeria and 14 Other Countries Over Security Concerns

The United States has imposed a travel ban on Nigeria and 14 other countries due to security concerns. President Donald Trump signed a proclamation expanding travel restrictions on nations classified as high-risk for American security.

The move aims to tighten border control and enhance national security by limiting entry for certain visa categories. Nigeria joins a list of countries facing partial restrictions, while 12 other nations remain under full entry bans.

The White House described the action as strengthening national security through common-sense restrictions based on vetting deficiencies.
