Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has advised Nigerians who have no urgent reason to travel to the US to postpone their travel plans until the new administration’s policy on immigration is clear.
In a statement released by her media aide, Abdurrahman Balogun, Dabiri-Erewa said that the warning became imperative due to series of reports her office has received in recent times .
She said; “In the last few weeks, the office has received a few cases of Nigerians with valid multiple-entry US visas being denied entry and sent back to the Nigeria. In such cases reported to the office, such affected persons were sent back immediately on the next available flight and their visas were cancelled”.
“No reasons were given for the decision by the US immigration authorities.”
“This is only to advise Nigerians without any compelling or essential reasons to visit the US to consider rescheduling their trip until there is clarity on the new immigration policy.”
She however reminded Nigerians in the Diaspora to abide by the rules and regulations of their host countries and be good ambassadors of the country.
