U.S. Embassy Quietly Revokes Nigerian Visas, Leaving Families Stranded - Disruption for Nigerian Professionals
The U.S. Embassy in Nigeria has quietly started revoking valid visas issued to Nigerian citizens, causing disruptions for families and professionals who rely on international travel for work, education, and personal commitments.
The revocations were revealed by Olufemi Soneye, former Chief Corporate Communications Officer of NNPC Ltd, who stated that many Nigerians received letters instructing them to submit their passports to the consulate in Abuja for visa cancellations without explanation. This has left affected individuals, including journalists, government officials, entrepreneurs, and frequent travelers, in a state of uncertainty with no avenue for appeal provided.
The lack of specific details and evidence cited in the revocation notices has added to the confusion and distress among those impacted.
