The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, ABIKE DABIRI-EREWA, said Nigerians who have no compelling or urgent reason to travel to the US should postpone their travel plans until the new administration’s policy on immigration is clear.
The advice was contained in a statement released in Abuja by her Special Assistant on Media, ABDURRAHMAN BALOGUN.
She said the warning became imperative due to series of reports received by her office on cases of Nigerians with valid multiple-entry US visas but were denied entry and sent back to the Nigeria.
The statement noted that such affected persons were sent back immediately on the next available flight and their visas were cancelled, without any explanation by US immigration officials.
The Presidential aide also reminded Nigerians in the Diaspora to abide by the rules and regulations of their host countries and be good ambassadors of Nigeria.
