US Embassy and Consulate in Nigeria to Close July 3
The US Embassy in Abuja and the US Consulate in Lagos will temporarily close on Friday, July 3, 2026, in observance of the US Independence Day. This closure means that regular consular services, including visa appointments, will not be available on that day.
The announcement was made via the official social media platforms of the US mission in Nigeria on Thursday. The holiday, commonly known as the Fourth of July, commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, marking a significant moment in American history when the thirteen American colonies declared their freedom from British rule.
Normal activities at the embassy and consulate are expected to resume following the holiday.
