United States has said Nigerians will not be
banned from entering the country contrary to
speculations of many.
Trump had signed an executive order barring
citizens from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Libya,
Somalia and Sudan from entering the country
for 90 days and also suspended the admission
of all refugees for 120 days.
The US Ambassador to Nigeria, Ambassador W.

Stuart Symington who said this yesterday
during a press briefing in Abuja, stated that the
US holds Nigeria in high esteem and would not
ban its citizens from coming to US. He said the
connection between our two countries has been
strong and will continue to be strong tomorrow.
He refuted the claim that Nigeria visa status has
been reduce to one year. He said that nothing
has really changed in the Visa policy for
Nigeria, stressing that the two years multiple
entry status is still valid for Nigerians.

He said U.S will not discriminate against any
Nigeria based on religion or tribe. He however
stressed that should there be any visa denial
for any individual it should not be constricted to
discrimination.
